This German potato salad can be eaten warm or cold! By marinating warm potato slices in a delicious dressing, they’ll absorb all those great flavors. They are then mixed with egg, crispy salty bacon, and chives. A great combination of flavors makes this one of the best potato salads I know!

NOTES
1. Potatoes - I use pre-cooked potato slices for this salad, as it is the easiest way to prepare it. You could make the potato slices yourself. Use floury potatoes to make this recipe. Russet, Doré, King Edward, and Maris Piper are great choices. Start by peeling the potatoes. Cut them about ½ inch thick. Now you cook them (just like the potato slices from the recipe. Only these potatoes need a little longer (about 10 minutes more) to be cooked.2. Eggs - Cook your eggs until they’re hard-boiled? Not sure how to do that? I’ve got the perfect step-by-step plan for you in y blog: how to prepare perfect hard-boiled eggs! Make sure to rinse them under cold water afterward. Then you can peel the skin easily.3. Storage
Refrigerator: This German potato salad will keep up for three days in the fridge. Bring to room temperature before serving.
