Sunny's Warm German Potato Salad
RECIPE COURTESY OF SUNNY ANDERSON
Level: Easy
Total: 55 min (includes cooling and steaming time)
Active: 25 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

1 pound red bliss or creamer potatoes
1/2 teaspoon mesquite liquid smoke
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper
8 strips bacon, chopped
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
Dash of hot Hungarian paprika
1/2 cup gently chopped fresh curly parsley
4 scallions, finely chopped

Directions

In a large pot, add the potatoes, liquid smoke, garlic, a nice pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper and water to just cover. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender all the way through, about 15 minutes. Drain in a colander and rest the colander over the top of the empty pot to allow the heat to dry the potatoes. Once cool enough to handle but still warm, cut the larger potatoes in quarters and the others in half to make all the same general bite size. Some may not need to be cut at all. Add to a large mixing bowl.

If using a gas stove, place the pepper directly over a medium flame and allow to char on one side, then rotate until the entire pepper is black and charred. If you don't have a gas stove, roast the pepper on a baking sheet under the broiler or at the highest temperature of your oven. Carefully watch to rotate the pepper and char on all sides. Remove to a resealable plastic bag and close, allowing it to steam for 5 minutes to loosen the skin. Once cool enough to handle, remove the seeds and charred skin and chop the pepper. Set aside.

In a large pan on medium heat, add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the vinegar, sugar, mustard, paprika, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper to the still-hot pan. Cook at a rolling simmer until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and toss until they soak up the vinegar mixture.

Transfer the potatoes back to the large bowl. Add the red peppers, bacon, parsley and scallions and toss. Pour into a serving bowl and serve warm or cold.

I like that she adds the flavor of North Carolina to make this a version she likes. I had German potato salad in the can a few times. That's what cooking is about make what you like to eat your way

[shamas_kitchen]

Whoever reading this comment I pray that you always stay blessed with your lovely family and may your all good wishes come true..
I work hard for my food channel but I'm sad because I don't get a good response, I don't want to be disappointed, , !!! 😭

[manuelfromdabloc]

Looks like a nice recipe, I would like to know where she ate that because that is as far from German as it could be!
First thing- Mayonnaise is a STAPLE in German potato salad and then you add eggs, pickles and sausage that’s similar to Bologna. American potato salad is probably way closer to the German kind than that one. Point of reference: I’m German.

I make a version of this all the time it is never left over, all gone in minutes I leave out the bell peppers and mustard, still yummy

[victoriaf.]

My German born grandmothers was the best, my dads oldest sister held on to the recipe for years and would only give all us a copy of it five years ago .Minnie Jones born Germany 1890 died Ohio U.S. 1962 .

#1) yum! #2) dude's bright pink sweater would look perfect on my bedroom floor; he could GET IT (ain't gotta want it, but he's gonna be hooked on it). Lol! :)

[rudeboymon]

Nice. I like how it keeps better than potato salad with mayo

[drewconway]

2:46 “We’re gonna get the potatoes right back in here as well, ” then dumps in bell peppers.

[TheDctown]

I love you sunny to the moon and back but I agree @mariejools!! nothing at this salad is German LOL but now I´m curious!!You had to be lived in south side Germany, cause this is the region were they made the potato salad without mayo :) greetings from oversea <3

[hobbyaddict]

At about 2:26 she says 2 flavor profiles, smokey and hot. When did Hot become a flavor?

[puffinsmoke]

Never used bell peppers in mine, but it may work

[clumsycooking]

This looks delicious, but I always thought salads were served cold?

[nezlee]

Yeah, really not german but it looks delicious 🙌

[Zipfei_Kloatscher]

If you try to tell me Miller is from Germany because it's beer and Germans are famous for beer, I'm straight coming at you... 😅

[itiswhatitis]

Those horrible wigs!!!! Her hairstylist must hate her! She needs to hire a sister! What happened to his girl Marsala anyway?

[salnichols]

Sunny, can I substitute honey for the sugar?

[sadieme]

I am curious as to why when you all are cooking at home, Sunny only films in the backyard. Does she not want us to see her kitchen? There’s something going on there.
