German Potato Salad with Beer Dressing

Cultural Context

Originating from southern Germany, German potato salad is a warm dish that contrasts with the cold, creamy versions found in other regions. Traditionally served at gatherings and festivals, it showcases the region's love for hearty, comforting flavors. The addition of beer in the dressing elevates the dish, making it a popular choice for barbecues and casual dinners.

Peel the russet potatoes and remove any brown spots.

Cut the potatoes into similar size chunks and soak them in water to remove starch.

Slice the onions into long strips.

4

Chop the bacon into small pieces while semi-frozen for easier slicing.

5

Dress the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning, mixing well to coat.

6

Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and parchment paper.

7

Bake the potatoes in a preheated 375°F oven with convection for about 25 minutes until crispy, tossing halfway through.

8

Cook the bacon in a dry pan until crispy, reserving the rendered fat.

9

Sauté the onions in the reserved bacon fat until browned, then add garlic and cook until fragrant.

10

Add apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, whole grain mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to the onion mixture, mixing well.

11

Once the potatoes are crispy, combine them with the bacon and onion mixture.

12

Garnish with chopped parsley and scallions before serving.
