What is the best no-mayo potato salad?
This potato salad is made with 3 types of potatoes. You can use favorite kinds of potatoes here, fingerling potatoes are a great option or just about any kind of small potato.
For this potato salad recipe, I used Red Potatoes, Yukon Gold Potatoes, and a Sweet Potato. Let me tell you, the sweet potato with the dijon vinegarette is a fantastic combo!
German Potato Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ pound Bacon cut into ½" slices
- 1 medium Sweet Potato peeled, cut into 1-1½" chunks
- 1 pound Red Potatoes cut in half
- 1 pound Yukon Gold Potatoes cut into 1-1½" chunks
- 2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
Dijon Vinaigrette Dressing
- 5 Tablespoons White Vinegar
- ⅓ cup Avocado Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Celery Salt
- ⅔ cup Green Onions sliced thin
Instructions
- Preheat your grill.
- Slice bacon into ½" pieces, then add to a hot skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon bits are golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove bacon bits with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil (or enough to cover the potatoes). Add the prepared potatoes and boil for 15 minutes, or until almost completely cooked - you should be able to put a fork into them without much force. Strain the water off the potatoes, then add the avocado oil and toss to mix.
- Spray the grill with non-stick cooking spray, then place the potatoes onto the hot grill and season with the salt and pepper.
- Grill the potatoes for 4-5 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and have grill marks. Flip them over and grill another side for another 4-5 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the grill and transfer to a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the white vinegar, avocado oil, dijon mustard, celery salt, and green onions and whisk well.
- To the bowl with the grilled potatoes, add the bacon bits and lightly drizzle the dijon mustard vinaigrette. Toss the potato salad, seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve the potato salad warm, or chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving cold. Enjoy!
