Hot German Potato Salad

6 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Red preferred), boiled whole. Drained, roughly chopped and placed in mixing bowl. (Overcook and/or too small of pieces and you may be making German mashed potatoes.)

In a small saucepan, add:

1/4 C water
1 chicken bullion cube (Mom uses cube, I prefer tsp of "Better Than Bullion" per 1/4 C water)
1 Tbsp Sugar
2 Tbsp Vinegar
1 Tsp Garlic powder
Heat and stir until bubble start to appear around the edges.

Remove sauce from heat, add:

1 bunch green onions, chopped
6 to 8 oz bacon, cooked, crumbled
1 Tbsp bacon drippings
Stir and pour over warm potatoes.

Add:

2 Tbsp mayo
Salt, Pepper, Dried Parsley to taste.
Mix and serve warm.


Note: This is Mom's recipe. I found that the potatoes absorbed a lot of the sauce so I doubled that part of the recipe before the onions and bacon...of course, a pound of bacon never hurt anyone, right? ;)
