German potato salad from The New Best Recipe, All-New Edition with 1,000 Recipes (page 103) by Cook's Illustrated Magazine

  • bacon
  • distilled vinegar
    "Distilled vinegar, also known as virgin vinegar, can be made from just about any vinegar – for instance: rice, malt, wine, fruit, balsamic, apple cider, kiwifruit, rice, coconut, palm, cane, raisin, date, beer, honey, kombucha, and much more. As its name suggests, this vinegar is distilled from ethanol. ‘Distilled’ plainly means that the liquid component is separated from the base mixture. This produces a colorless solution with 5-8% acetic acid in the water – relatively weaker than white or spirit vinegar." http://www.differencebetween.net/object/comparisons-of-food-items/difference-between-white-and-distilled-vinegar/

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • TimothyJames on November 10, 2025

    If you plan on following the recipe as written, then use baby potatoes as the potato pieces are too large if you cut medium potatoes in half or even in quarters. Also, personal taste opinion, I think it tastes better with two Tablespoons of whole-grain German style mustard instead of just one.
