Authentic German Potato Salad

Directions

1. 1
   Place the potatoes into a saucepan, and fill with enough salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
2. 2
   Drain, and set aside.
3. 3
   Saut the bacon in a hot pan until browned and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
4. 4
   Remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
5. 5
   Keep 2 tbsp of the bacon fat and add the chopped onion to the pan, and cook over medium heat until they are soft and translucent.
6. 6
   Add the wine vinegar, water, mustard, sugar, chives, salt and fresh ground pepper to the onions.
7. 7
   Whisk the ingredients together. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until mixture is reduced to about cup.
8. 8
   Crumble in half of the bacon along with the cooked potatoes. Try to separate the slices so that dressing gets on each piece of potato.
9. 9
   Mix in the sweet pickle, and chopped green onion. Crumble the remaining bacon over the top, garnish with some fresh parsley, and serve warm. DELICIOUS!
