Kartoffelsalat (German Potato Salad)

Ingredients:

• 1 kg potatoes, boiled and sliced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 4 tablespoons white vinegar
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup beef or chicken broth
• Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

   • Boil the potatoes until just tender, then cool, peel, and slice them.

2. Make the Dressing:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, mustard, salt, and pepper.

3. Assemble the Salad:

   • Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl. Add the chopped onions and pour the dressing over the potatoes while they are still warm to absorb the flavors better.

4. Add Broth:

   • Gently stir in the warm broth to the potato mixture, allowing it to soak into the slices.

5. Garnish and Serve:

   • Top with fresh parsley and crumbled bacon if using. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve warm or at room temperature.
