Want to try a new recipe? Here’s a German potato salad with homemade bacon dijon dressing by Downshiftology. I’m sure you haven’t tried this before. It’s tangy, savory, and doesn’t contain any mayo. I love that it’s served warm and has bacon. Read on or watch the video below for full instructions.

Instructions
Step 1:
Fill a large pot with cold water then add the potatoes. Make sure they are covered. Bring it to a boil, then season the water with salt. Once boiling, reduce the heat and cover it with a lid. Let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until fork tender. Drain the water and leave the potatoes in the pot, letting them cool for about 5 minutes. Once you can handle them, slice the potatoes into chunks and put them back in the pot.
Step 2:
Time to fry the bacon. While waiting for the potatoes, fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Once crispy, transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel using a slotted spoon.
Step 3:
In the same skillet, saute the onion for about 3 to 4 minutes, until softened. Next, add the garlic and saute for another minute.
Step 4:
Add the honey, mustard, salt, and pepper to the onion and garlic. Whisk the ingredients, while pouring the vinegar. Continue whisking for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly reduced.
Step 5:
Pour the dressing over the chopped potatoes in the pot. Add the crispy bacon pieces and gently toss everything together. Don’t mash the potatoes. Transfer to a plate and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve and enjoy!
