German Potato Salad

A comforting German Potato Salad has been on my table for generations. I make my recipe with red potatoes, onion and a rich bacon based dressing that tastes warm and savory. I love that I can have this ready in about 40 minutes which makes it easy to pair with simple weeknight dinners or holiday meals.
