German Potato Salad

• 3 lb small red-potatoes (about 2 inches in diameter), washed well
  
• 10 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips (about 1/2 pound)
  
• 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
  
• 1/2 tsp sugar
  
• 3 T cider vinegar
  
• 3/4 c beef broth
  
• 2 T chopped fresh parsley leaves
  

In a large saucepan combine potatoes with salted water to cover by 1 inch and simmer until just tender, about 20 minutes.

While potatoes are cooking, in a large heavy skillet cook bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until browned and crisp and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.

Drain potatoes and let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes into eighths and in a bowl combine with bacon. Keep mixture warm, covered.

Pour off all but 3 tablespoons fat from skillet and sauté onion over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add sugar, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and broth and simmer 2 minutes. Add onion mixture to warm potatoes with parsley and remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, tossing gently, and season with salt and pepper.

Serve potato salad warm or at room temperature, garnished with parsley
