Cuisine: German
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4 to 6

Ingredients

  • 4 Yukon Gold potatoes, boiled until tender and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 pound thick-sliced bacon or slab bacon, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • chopped fresh parsley or dill, for garnish

Here's how to make it:
