Potato salads make the perfect accompaniment to many meat dishes or a delicious and hearty meal on their own. I personally prefer the roasted potatoes instead of usual boiled one for my potato salads as it intensifies the flavour. If you can't find the smoky black forest bacon, use regular bacon.
- 800 g Small potatoes, cut into 2-3 chunks
- 2 tbsp Rosemary infused olive oil
- Salt
- 5 slice Black forest bacon, chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary leaves
- 2 tbsp Sour cream
- 2 tbsp Homemade mayonnaise
- 1/2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1/2 tbsp Capers, drained and chopped
- 1/2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- Heat oven to 210C/420F. Place the potatoes in a roasting pan, then rub with rosemary infused olive oil, rosemary leaves and a sprinkling of salt. Roast for 30 mins until the potatoes have turned a deep golden brown. Leave to cool slightly.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Dry-fry the chopped bacon until crisp. Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, and the basil in a large bowl. Add in roasted potatoes and crispy bacon. Toss to coat and serve.

These look simply delish!!! It's a little to cold here right now for Potato Salad, but I will bookmark this for summer.Have a great week Angie!!
That looks lovely! I do love warm potato salads...and if they have bacon in them, well then, I'm an instant fan!!!
Oh...and I made homemade mayo for the first time last week... WOW, did my arm hurt!! Then I told a friend of mine and she said "why didn't you use your stand mixer?" LOL Well, that would not have been as fun, I guess!!!
Ooohhh.. I'll love this salad definately
This looks so yumm, congratulations on your awards.
Looks like a fantastic potoato salad! Bet the bacon adds so much to it. Congrats on your awards!
ohh...I love the salad, especially you added Rosemary infused olive oil and rosemary leaves in it!
Lovely tempting salad...
I've never tried, but your recipie looks delicous.
kisses

This sounds so flavorful with all that herbs and bacon in it :) Love it!
Could anyone say no to this? I think not! I made potato salad and chana masala this weekend...I wish hubby would eat bacon, then I could slip this dish in...*sigh*
Black forest bacon, I've never heard of that before! Sounds yummy though. This potato salad looks awesome - I like my potatoes roasted also. I think mostly it's because of that crispy skin. Yum!
Before I saw a picture, I wanted this salad -- the name conjured up everything warm and comforting and homey. And then I looked at the pictures and read the recipe and I'm completely sold. Although I'm a fan of potato salad of any stripe, I'm particularly fond of warm ones. This is a keeper.
An excellent potato salad!! Love the flavors!
This looks deliciously country and homey! I love it :D. Sounds so good! I've never heard of black forest bacon before.
Congrats on your two awards! You totally deserve them :D
An amazing potato salad. I've never heard of the black forest bacon before. It must be something very special.
MMMMMMMM,..What a tasty & fab looking roasted potato a black forset bacon!!
Delightful food! I recently moved my blog to wordpress.com/ Come over @ my blog & check it out! You must update your RSS too!
delicious, congrats on your awards
You had me at the "warm." Love warm potato salad and I crave warmth. All that wonderful bacon and herbs just make it brim over with flavor.
Those potatoes look perfect...especially with that bacon!
This sounds like a very good idea! I like German potato salad, even though I like 'Brotsalat' more - do you know how to make it? I would be very much interested to learn :).
Potatoes and bacon,I don't see a reason that I wouldn't love this :-) great combo, Angie
Great looking potatoes! And to pair it with bacon, yum! I'm so ready for fresh spring potatoes!
Omg, wat a delicious and great looking salad, marvellous!
lovely presentation congrats on the well deserved award
What a great looking potato salad! Love it with the bacon, terrific shots, looks so good!
Mmm, black forest bacon - 3 of the nicest words in the world! Love the idea of roasting the potatoes, too, and the salad looks wonderful.
Nice one Angie.. I tried preparing one.. last week without roasting the potato and I loved the attempt..
Probably roasting will give it the touch!
Your potato salad is no ordinary potato salad esp with the black forest bacon and homemade mayo!
Angie....this is one flavorful potato salad and I am going to make this tonite for dinner....my rosemary plant is growing wild so need to trim them and I can use them for this salad :) Thanks for the recipe. I am sure Wild Boar will love this :)
That is one superb-looking sald!
Congrats on your awards...you deserve them :)
I love potato salad, this looks so delicious.
Love the flavors you added in here Angie - especially the bacon! Completely delicious!
Angie, your potato salad is so pretty, unlike the usual mash kind I'm used to seeing. Black forest bacon sounds so good. Hope you are having a great week.
-Gina-
Omg this looks so beautiful :)
this looks so mouth watering angie!!! i must make this one of these days!
These looks delicious! I love potatoes in salad, or potatoes in anything! And with bacon? I can finish the whole bowl!
Lovely pairing. Bacon is a must for me in potato salad.
Looks delicious!I know my boys would love this, bacon is one of their favourite meat!
ohh yum. A fabulous looking potato salad. Mouth. Watering.
What a decadent potato salad.
:-) Mandy
delicious looking salad. Even though i dont eat bacon, very curious as to why they call it black forest bacon?
oh great! I never though potatoes could be used for salad. It looks nice.
I use potatoes to make the gravy of the curry thick. I have tried several other recipes on blogs but never a salad. Thanks for sharing it.
Love the way you combine foods and create a wonderful dish altogether, Angie! Congrats for the award.
I could finish two bowls of this...
extra bacon please!
@Nammi
Because it's from "black forest" (Schwarzwald) Germany.
This salad looks very satisfying for me! I could eat this as the main entree -- it looks so good! You're right, I love roasting potatoes for a salad, well, actually, for anything, really. I agree it intensifies the flavor, and they just end up looking absolutely gorgeous!
That's one of my favorite side dishes. Potatoes and bacon are such a great combo.
I have never tried roasting potatoes for my potato salad but it sure sounds like a good idea. Your potato salad with bacon sounds really tasty!
Here we get black forsett calling it Zwart woud hanm, Ham never seen the bacon, salade looks absloutley delicious.
I don't eat meat, but I love the idea of a warm potato salad! :D
Hi Angie-Thank you so much for the mention, re: the award I gave you. You truly deserved it, and then some!
Your roasted warm potato salad, with the Black Forest bacon, can only be found in Germany, I suppose. I love the salad, and it also brings back great memories of the warm German potato salad that was very popular in the seventies.
I would prefer your salad better, which is so delicious and comforting with the homemade mayonnaise!
Oh I do love a good potato salad, so satisfying with a great sandwich!
*kisses* HH
Potato salad with bacon? Get me a fork, quick! :) Delicious!
A fabulous potato salad, I love that you use homemade mayo and sounds excellent with the black forest bacon, yum!
This warm potato salad looks delicious, even tastier with the bacon and homemade mayo :-)
There is nothing like a warm potato salad - thanks for the tweet Angie. I tried to tweet yours and it opened in the same window and took me away from my comment and to somewhere strange.
:)

This looks so creamy never tried making this kind of salad before, will have to give it a go loves potatoes!
looks like my type of comfy food! loved the presentation and pics
@A Canadian Foodie
Thanks for trying. I think you probably clicked "0 tweets" instead of "tweet".
Delicious potato salad, my all-time fave. Hmmm...smoky black forest bacon, really like to try, but seldom find here.
The little touches are what make a big difference and here is no exception; love the homemade mayo, rosemary infused oil and all the rest of it.
Angie...another great comforting bowl of my favourites...especially since potatoes are my weakness ;o)
Ciao for now,
Claudia
love black forest bacon! looks like i'm gonna make this with my leftover potatoes! :)
Roasting the potatoes definitely adds a depth of flavor that boiling doesn't. So does the rosemary, black forest bacon and homemade mayo. Elegant take on a classic, Angie!
Wow, my mouth dropped - look at that dish! This sounds so flavorful and appetizing... my mouth is watering.
Angie your potato salad looks and sounds out of this world delicious!
Blessings,
Catherine
What a wonderfully delicious dish. It is still just a tad early for potato salad here, but I've bookmarked your recipe for use this summer. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
Feed me potato and bacon... stat!!
Congratulations on your awards Angie :) I just love warm potato salad and my kids would go nuts for this bacon :)
I am a potato salad nut and this one is going on my list to try. It sounds perfect with the bacon as well. A bit of salty is the perfect kick.
I LOVE potato salad and this potato salad looks incredible. I just adore how you roasted the potatoes first, what a great idea. And I love the addition of the bacon. YUM!
What a great idea! So easy and so delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
