German potato salad with bacon and sausage

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Cut the potatoes into medium slices or cubes with a side of 2 cm. You can first peel them or (if the potatoes are young) simply wash them with a brush. Place the potatoes in a saucepan, add enough cold water to just cover the potatoes, and place over medium heat. Once boiling, cook until soft, about 12 minutes, then drain into a sieve.

2. STEP 2

   

   While the potatoes are cooking, place the bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to render the fat. Cut the sausages into slices.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion and cut into medium feathers. Chop the parsley, especially finely chopping the stems. Cut the gherkins into thin slices.

4. STEP 4

   

   When the bacon is crispy and browned, remove it and place on paper towels. And in the frying pan where it was fried, put the onions and sausages. Increase heat and fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour vinegar into the pan, add sugar and parsley stems, simmer, stirring, until almost all the vinegar has evaporated. Add potatoes to the pan, stir and remove from heat.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the potatoes have cooled slightly (about 10 minutes), add parsley leaves, gherkins, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and serve warm or completely cool, sprinkled with crumbled bacon in your fingers. Finita! Bon appetit!
