Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled German Potato Salad Delight.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your outdoor grill to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Next, place whole Yukon Gold potatoes directly on the grill.
Step 3
Grill them, turning occasionally, until they yield just a bit when pierced with a skewer, which should take about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Once they’re perfectly tender, remove the potatoes from the grill and let them cool until they’re safe to handle.
Step 5
Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until it becomes foamy and fragrant, roughly 5 minutes.
Step 6
Use a slotted spoon to set aside half of the bacon on paper towels for a crispy topping later.
Step 7
In the same skillet, add chopped onion to the remaining bacon and sauté until the onion turns translucent, about another 5 minutes.
Step 8
Once the grilled potatoes have cooled, peel them and cut them into quarters, then slice into 1/2-inch pieces.
Step 9
Transfer these delightful potato slices to a large mixing bowl.
Step 10
In the skillet with the bacon and onion, stir in vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Step 11
Raise the heat to medium-high and bring this flavorful dressing to a boil.
Step 12
Once it bubbles with excitement, remove it from the heat.
Step 13
Pour the hot dressing over the potato slices and gently toss to combine, allowing the salad to sit for 5 minutes to soak up all those delicious flavors.
Step 14
Give it another stir, then fold in the chopped parsley and sprinkle the reserved crispy bacon on top.
Step 15
Serve this warm potato salad and savor every bite!.
