Give those bland, heavy, mayo-based potato salads a break. Instead, make an old-fashioned, warm German potato salad. In this delicious dish, the tender, sliced potatoes and onions get tossed with bacon and a sweet and tangy dressing. Like all the best potato salad recipes<\/a>, it has tons of flavor and texture.<\/p>\n

What really sets this dish apart from other potato salads is that it’s served warm from the skillet. While it’s always been one of the more popular side dishes<\/a> for summertime potlucks and barbecues, German potato salad is versatile enough to serve year-round as a side for roast beef or chicken, bratwurst with sauerkraut<\/a> or pork chops.<\/p>\n

The Difference Between American and German Potato Salads<\/h2>\n

The differences between American and German potato salad lie in both their ingredients and how they’re served. Traditional American potato salads use mayonnaise as a base, whereas German potato salad recipes use vinegar and bacon drippings.<\/p>\n

Because American potato salads use mayo, the potatoes are cooled after cooking, and the assembled salad is chilled before serving. In contrast, old-fashioned German potato salads like this one feature a cooked dressing; after mixing, these salads are served while they’re still warm.<\/p>\n
