The warm German potato salad I rely on all season starts with the choice of potato, the way fat renders from bacon, and a dressing that tightens into a lacquer on the surface rather than pooling at the bottom. The payoff is simple: potatoes that stay intact, a pan that tastes of smoke and acidity, and a finish that feels bright rather than heavy. This approach is built for weeknights and small gatherings alike, where you want something comforting, recognizable, and surprisingly sharp in flavor.
