Ingredients
- 500 g potatoes (firm boiling)
- 1 medium onion

- 5 tablespoons canola, vegetable or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley finely chopped

- Peel and cut the potatoes into slices and boil in lightly salted water until cooked. Germans would traditionally boil them with the skins on then peel and slice them when cooked.
- Dice the onion, peel, core and dice the apple, cut the gherkins into small cubes, brown the bacon and drain off the fat and finely chop the parsley.
