German potato salad

Tangy bacon spuds

German potato salad is a dish of sliced potatoes dressed with a warm vinegar-based sauce rather than mayonnaise, typically including bacon, onion, and mustard.

Served warm or at room temperature, it has a tangier, less creamy character than American-style potato salad: German potato salad holds up better at summer cookouts since there's no mayo to spoil.
