This WarmGerman Potato Salad with Bacon Vinaigrette is a scrumptious side dish with crispy bacon, tender potatoes, and warm dressing that is my version of tasty German potato salad. Simple ingredients and great for travel or outdoor events (it does not have mayo or eggs), this easy potato salad is tangy, savory, and delicious!
Boil red potatoes until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cut potatoes into wedges. Add to a large bowl for mixing.
In a large skillet, add diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon and add to potatoes.
Add diced onion to skillet and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon and add to potatoes and bacon.
Combine vinegar, water, sugar, and Stone House Seasoning in a small bowl. Pour into skillet with the bacon drippings and cook until it thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Pour over potatoes and toss until all ingredients are well-coated. Serve warm.

Reheat: Warm gently in a skillet or microwave with a small splash of water or vinegar to help the dressing loosen on the salad. Stir and serve warm.
