German-Style Potato Salad

A tangy hit of vinegar and Dijon mustard cuts through the rich bacon and sweet onions in this mayonnaise-free option. It's best served warm to let the flavors truly shine.

1
Scrub potatoes well. Add to pot of water and bring to a boil; simmer until potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool.
2
Meanwhile, heat a saute pan over medium-high and add bacon. Cook until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spatula, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but about a tablespoon of the bacon fat. Add onion to the pan and cook over medium-low heat until soft and caramelized.
3
Cut potatoes in half, and then cut each half into fourths. Place in a bowl. Add bacon, onions, mustard, vinegar and scallions; stir to combine. Taste and add salt of necessary. Serve warm.
