Normal potato salad is fine, but it has never been something that has excited me. It usually just seems like a big bowl of mushy, bland potatoes. I decided to kick it up a notch by using red potatoes, bacon (lots of bacon!), whole grain mustard and several other ingredients to create a potato salad that is anything but boring! We really do call this The Best Potato Salad!
This German Potato Salad is delicious when eaten still warm, or if you let it chill first. This would be a very well-received side dish to bring to a get together this summer! One of the flavors that stands out the most in this to me, is the whole grain mustard. I love that you can still see and taste the grains. It really gives this dish that little something extra. I like this mustard, but go for any brand you like!
To make this potato salad, you will want to wash and cut your potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Boil them and then let them cool a little. Cook and chop your bacon as well. I like to cook my bacon in the oven, because it is easier, makes less mess and cooks more evenly. I really like to cook my bacon on this stone. You will then mix up all of the other ingredients and then fold everything together and enjoy!
