In the southern parts of Germany where my grandmother-in-law was from she also used beef stock in with a neutral oil and the vinegar with a pinch of sugar. She also used russets and had asbestos fingers to peel those potatoes(with a spoon by the way). Course by that time with working in restaurants so did I. She didn't use bacon at all though I have used bacon lardons and used the hot fat to supplement the oil in the dressing...just don't tell the husband.

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

That's definitely true, I own quite a few German cookbooks and have tried and liked plenty of different potato salads.

One of my favorite ones combines the potatoes with tomatoes, eggs and Fleischwurst (Bologna-sausage with garlic) and of course home-made mayonnaise.

I don't remember the relative quantities by heart, but thinking about it, we'll most likely eat it tonight. So, if anyone has an interest I will happily post or PM the (translated!) recipe.

The recipe would be nice to have. Thanks for posting the offer.
