In April, Kevin and I celebrated Easter with my sister, Bethany and her family. When I visit, she always seems to have a few recipes tailored to my food allergy needs. For this visit, she had two recipes for our Easter dinner. One was for a baked pork dish, which I will blog about another day. The other was a recipe for Authentic German Potato Salad, from Allrecipes.com. That’s the subject of today’s post.
We are of German heritage and I vaguely remember Mom making a warm German potato salad, a few times, when I was young. It had been years since having it, so I was excited to try it. It was really good, but what made this particular recipe even more appealing to me, was the fact that it was a recipe that fit all of my food allergy needs. As is. No substitutions needed. What a refreshing change.
I’m posting a pic of the recipe, which Bethany gave me, below. I’m also giving you a link to their website, at the bottom of this post, if you’d like to check it out.
I followed the recipe to a T – kind of.
I didn’t peel all of the potatoes, only about half. (We like red skin potatoes with their skins on.)
No fresh parsley in the house, so I used dried.
My bacon was extremely fatty, so after frying it, I drained about 2/3 of the bacon grease out of the pan before adding the other ingredients. (This is purely a judgement call on how much bacon grease you do or don’t want in your potato salad.)

That’s it. It turned out great!
Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping!
