Hot German Potato Salad

6-8 medium potatoes
1 teaspoon salt (for boiling potatoes)
10 slices cooked crisp bacon, crumbled
2 tbsp. butter
1/3 cup white vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (about 3 large cloves)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley


Place potatoes and salt in a large covered pot. Boil potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender when stabbed with a fork. Drain water and cool slightly. Slice into 1/2 inch slices. Set aside.

Melt butter in large skillet. Stir the minced garlic into the mixture and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until garlic starts to turn a light golden. Remove from heat and slowly and carefully add vinegar, sugar, Dijon, salt, and pepper. Place pot back on burner, bring mixture to a simmer, and stir for a couple of minutes. Remove pot from heat and toss in the sliced potatoes, gently mixing until potatoes have absorbed all of the liquid. Sprinkle with cooked bacon pieces and chopped parsley. Serve hot or warm.
