German Potato Salad – Five Heart Home (Video)

This German Potato Salad is full of tender potatoes and crispy bacon enveloped in an incredible dressing that will have everyone asking for more! A delicious recipe from Samantha over at Five Heart Home, who creates easy, homemade recipes that are sure to please even the picky eaters, and we have several in our family!

One of the ways that I’ve made this recipe easier for me is by using my Deluxe Multi Cooker to cook the potatoes.  I love using the pressure cooker method for potatoes, since I don’t have to worry about over cooking them, and they do not have to cook sitting in the water.  I find that my family enjoys the texture of the potatoes much better when prepared using this method. 

Deluxe Multi Cooker

Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more undercooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

Confident Cooking

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.
