Instructions:
-
Cook Potatoes:
- Begin by cooking the potatoes in their skins until they are tender. Once cooked, set them aside to cool slightly.
-
Prepare Bacon:
- In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until it becomes crisp and golden brown. Once done, remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel to drain off any excess grease.
-
Cook Onions:
- In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, cook and stir the finely chopped onions until they become golden brown and caramelized, releasing their sweet aroma and flavor.
-
Add Dry Ingredients:
- Next, blend in the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, celery salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the mixture becomes a fragrant, golden-brown roux.
-
Cook Roux:
- Cook the roux over low heat until it becomes bubbly and slightly thickened, intensifying the flavors and creating a rich base for the dressing.
-
Combine Liquid Ingredients:
- Remove the skillet from the heat, then stir in the water and white vinegar, combining all the ingredients into a cohesive mixture.
-
Heat Mixture:
- Return the skillet to the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming. Allow the mixture to boil for about a minute to ensure the flavors meld together perfectly.
-
Crumble Bacon:
- While the dressing is simmering, crumble the previously cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces, ready to add a burst of smoky flavor to the salad.
-
Prepare Potatoes:
- Once the dressing is ready, slice the cooked potatoes into rounds, ensuring they are evenly sized for a consistent texture in every bite.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Carefully stir the crumbled bacon and sliced potatoes into the hot dressing mixture, ensuring every potato slice is generously coated with the flavorful dressing.
-
Heat Through:
- Return the skillet to the heat and gently heat the salad through, stirring lightly to ensure the potato slices are evenly coated and heated.
-
Serve:
- Once heated through, transfer the Hot German Potato Salad to a serving dish, ready to impress your guests with its irresistible aroma and delectable flavors.
