German Potato Salad

3 cups diced peeled potatoes

4 slices bacon (optional) (If not using bacon, add 1 Tbsp. olive oil)

¼ cup pearl onion, diced small

1/4 cup white vinegar

2 tablespoons water

3 tablespoons white sugar

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Garnish with parsley

Place the potatoes into a pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, and set aside to cool.

Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry until browned and crisp, turning as needed. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add onion to the bacon grease, and cook over medium heat until browned. Add the vinegar, water, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper to the pan. Bring to a boil, then add the potatoes. Crumble in half of the bacon. Heat through, then transfer to a serving dish. Crumble the remaining bacon over the top, and serve warm.
