German Potato Salad

This past week I have been posting recipes from my parents visit.  Today is no different.  Over the weekend my Dad and I barbecued and my Mom made all of the sides.  One of the best was the German Potato salad.  My Mom made this and I had to have the recipe.  Of all of the sides that we had, it was the first of all of the side to be completely eaten.

The first step is to cut up the 6 slices of bacon into strips and then fry it up until crisp.  Remove the bacon from the pan and let it drain on a paper towel.
