Bavarian Potato Salad is a traditional German dish that's usually enjoyed during summer months as a side dish to grilled meat or sausages. This potato salad is characterized by a slightly sour taste, unlike the usual mayonnaise-based potato salad. The addition of chicken broth gives it a unique depth of flavor, while crispy bacon adds a bit of crunch and saltiness. With its tangy flavor and hearty texture, it's sure to be a hit at your next summer gathering.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, cook the potatoes in chicken broth until fork-tender.
2.	While the potatoes are cooking, fry bacon until crispy, and set aside.
3.	In a separate pan, sauté minced onion until translucent.
4.	Once the potatoes are ready, drain them and add to a large mixing bowl.
5.	Add the bacon, onion, sugar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and parsley to the mixing bowl and toss gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
