Recipe(tried): Hot German Potato Salad (using 5 lbs potatoes)

HOT GERMAN POTATO SALAD

5 lbs potatoes unpeeled, washed
1 lb bacon, chopped (put bacon in freezer for about an hour first)
3 lbs yellow onions, peeled and chopped
2 cups cider vinegar
2 cups water
1 bunch fresh parsley, stemmed and chopped (OR 1/2 cup dried parsley)

Boil the potatoes whole until done, then cool in sink of ice water.

Cook the bacon until almost done, then add the onions and cook until soft. Drain and save extra bacon grease. Add the vinegar, 2 cups water and parsley to the bacon and onions.

Slice the potatoes (thick slices hold up best) into a large pot. Pour bacon mixture over and toss carefully so as not to break up the potatoes.

I take this dish in a crockpot to lots of potluck dinners, have doubled and tripled the recipe for huge get togethers.
