Warm German Potato Salad

Preparation

1. Step 1

   In a large saucepan combine potatoes with salted water to cover by 1 inch and simmer until just tender, about 20 minutes.

   Step 2

   While potatoes are cooking, in a large heavy skillet cook bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until browned and crisp and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.

   Step 3

   Drain potatoes and let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes into eighths and in a bowl combine with bacon. Keep mixture warm, covered.

   Step 4

   Pour off all but 3 tablespoons fat from skillet and sauté onion over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add sugar, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and broth and simmer 2 minutes. Add onion mixture to warm potatoes with parsley and remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, tossing gently, and season with salt and pepper.

2. Step 5

   Serve potato salad warm or at room temperature, garnished with parsley.
