  1. Fry the bacon in a dry frying pan until crisp. Transfer to paper towels. Chop finely.
  2. Remove the sausage casings. Place the sausage meat in the same pan where the bacon was fried. Cook, breaking up any lumps with a spatula, for 10–12 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, peel and coarsely chop the potatoes. Boil in boiling salted water until tender, 15 minutes.
  4. Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into small cubes. Coarsely chop the spinach.
  5. Place the hot potatoes and ground meat in a salad bowl. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and Italian herbs. Season with salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  6. Serve sprinkled with bacon.

A reliable and foolproof classic—potato salad paired with bacon and sausage—becomes almost a main course. Play with different mustards and vinegars to achieve the perfect balance of hearty salad and zesty dressing.

There are many recipes for German potato salad, and our version is just one of them. Sometimes this dish is a very rich mix, with a long list of ingredients. Other times, the salad is simply coarsely chopped boiled potatoes with onions, dressed with vegetable oil. We decided to share our take on this German dish and added pickles, smoked sausage, and dill to the two classic ingredients. We also decided to make the potato salad dressing traditional—olive oil, wine vinegar, and mustard. The result is delicious and filling, as you'll easily see if you follow our detailed instructions.
