Outstanding

A classic potato salad gets its unique flavor from bacon and a piquant vinaigrette.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 cup)

Ingredients

  • 2  pounds  small red potatoes
  • 6  tablespoons  white wine vinegar, divided
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2  cup  finely chopped red onion
  • 4  ounces  turkey kielbasa, diced
  • 1/2  cup  fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 3  bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
  • 1  teaspoon  caraway seeds
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2  cup  minced fresh parsley

Preparation

Place potatoes in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until tender. Drain; cool slightly. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; cut halves crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place potatoes in a large bowl; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons vinegar.

Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add onion and kielbasa to pan; cook 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Add 1/4cup vinegar, broth, and bacon. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute. Stir in caraway seeds, salt, and pepper.

Pour vinegar mixture over potato slices; toss gently. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

Very good. However, I am German and I have watched the Master (my Grandmother) prep this potato salad: in order to be close to authentic it needs some sugar mixed into the dressing, bacon instead of the kilbasa, and some hard-boiled eggs (quartered) on top of the salad for garnish :) Cook the bacon first, discard all but a bit of the bacon grease, carmelize the onions in the same pan, add the broth, vinegar and vinegar. Mix with the cooked potatos. Salt and pepper to taste. Guten Appetit.11/29/08
