directions

  • Boil the potatoes in their skin until they are done, but still firm.
  • Drain the water, cover, and let cool for 1-2 hours.
  • While the potatoes are cooling, dice the onion. In a coated frying pan, brown the onions until they are crispy.
  • Peel the potatoes after they are done cooling.
  • Slice the potatoes very thinly or into small diced chunks, if you prefer.
  • Place in a large bowl.
  • Add the browned onion and toss gently together.
  • Combine oil, vinegar, and broth in a small bowl.
  • Stir vinegar mixture into the potatoes.
  • The consistency should be mushy. If too dry, add chicken stock or water, being sure not to make it too runny.
  • Crisp some bacon, and stir it into the salad.
  • Taste and add salt and pepper and more vinegar, if needed.
  • Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, the longer the better.
  • Serve at room temperature.

  1. Made this to share at a group gathering, & although some of the people were a bit hesitant to try this salad, most of them eventually did & were surprisingly satisfied with it! I did take a couple of liberties with the recipe, though, in that I didn't peel the potatoes but just cut them into small bite-size pieces! Also used bacon bits instead of browning the bacon myself! Definitely a different kind of potato salad, but one well-worth trying! In fact, I'll be keeping this recipe around for future enjoyment! Thanks for sharing it!
