A twist to the traditional German fried potato dish, these German Fried Potatoes with Chicken mixes a tangy sauce, rotisserie chicken and bacon for a quick and delicious dinner in minutes. I made a new video to show you how easy it is to prepare!
How was everyone’s weekend? Gearing up for the holidays, I’ve been thinking of different meals to share with you that are quick to put together and are packed with flavor because we all get a little side tracked with busy schedules.
We love this one because with the rotisserie chicken you can pick up at Costco or your favorite market, this comes together rather quick. Tender chicken is sauced in a apple cider vinegar flavored pan sauce that is just poppin’ with flavor.
German Fried Potatoes with Chicken
I use rotisserie chicken meat to speed things up. Pan fried, golden brown, red potatoes are glazed in an apple cider vinegar pan sauce with crumbled bacon and chopped green onions. Mixed with the chicken and you have an incredible, tasty dinner. Comfort in a bowl.
I start off with rendering some bacon to crumble. With a little of the bacon fat, in go the red potatoes to brown and get all crispy. Can you smell it?
Setting the potatoes aside, I make a quick pan sauce by cooking some flour in with the bacon fat, deglazing the pan with the apple cider vinegar to pick up all the little bits, then add a little chicken stock.
This sauce is simple and so tasty. Lots of chopped green onions go in the mix, the potatoes and chopped breast meat get tossed in and you are ready to serve. Not just relegated to a side dish, these potatoes become a meal. Enjoy!

Potatoes, chicken, and bacon? Yes, Kevin, I can smell it! Unfortunately, I cannot try it. But I wish I could have it (like right now. Is it ok if it’s only 7 a.m.?) I mean you know my mailing address, don’t be shy:) Delicious and comfort combo.
Thanks Ben, this one is pure yummy comfort food!
Bring back the hair! Kevin, this recipe hits the nail right on the head in terms of my tastes. I could easily see myself making this any weeknight.
LOL, you kill me Jeff. Too funny. It’s wonderful comfort food we go to often. Another is corned beef hash, but then ones to make the corned beef first!
Damn, I was hoping to see that faux hair that someone was obviously freaked out about. Maybe it was your blonde pool boy? 😉
My German friend makes a killer potato salad, but nothing like this. I love your take on it and I think I need to show her this recipe. She’d love it.
LOL, no pool, haha! I like to leave comments like that up and respond, there was no hair, but hey, it’s all perception! Feel free to share away, thanks John.
Loving your posts and adventure with Dean in SA, looks so fun.
There is a hair in your picture….
Thanks for your eagle eye on the last photo Megan, but rest assured there are no blonde hairs on this head or in the dish. I believe a strand of the sauce from a piece of bacon sliding off a potato onto the plate gave that visual. I edited the photo in case that gives anyone else the impression you had, too. Thanks!
We had a great weekend, Kevin! It was Thanksgiving here in Canada so it was a long weekend for us, which is always super nice! That extra day makes all the difference 🙂 Love how you used a chicken here already cooked and ready to go. It really does speed things up and I’m extra happy that you really like vinegar as you use it regularly, which I love! You know that’s right up my alley 🙂 Pinning this one. Looks like the perfect comfort food. Raining and dark out here today and this would be so good to have for dinner! Curl up with a bowl of this and I’d be set!
Thanks Dawn! Glad you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving up there. Guess what? It’s actually dark grey outside and cloudy. I can only hope for a little rain today! 🙂
Chicken, bacon, bacon fat and the cider vinegar. This sounds like my kind of dish. Also echo the comment(s) about picking up a rotisserie, while cooking it at home is ideal it is so easy (and cheap) to get one from costco! Nice one Kevin.
Thanks so much Matt. I can’t seem to go there and NOT pick one up. 😉
I couldn’t agree more Kevin! TOTAL comfort in a bowl! We’re going to love this meal at our house!
Thanks Mary Ann. One can’t go wrong with bacon! 🙂
My weekend was rainy, thanks to the hurricane, but now that it’s over I’m fully focused on the upcoming holidays ahead… and trying not to get too much anxiety about how quickly they are all approaching. Anyways, I seriously need to stop visiting your site when I’m hungry, because you are torturing me! Seriously Kevin, this looks beyond amazing!! Such a fabulous use of rotisserie chicken! And fried potatoes glazed in an apple cider vinegar pan sauce??? WITH bacon?! Holy moly, deliciousness overload! I absolutely NEED this dish in my life! Pinned! Cheers, buddy!
Oh please, never stop coming around here, I love your comments and input Chey! At least when you’re hungry, OK? Was just on your site to see how you guys handled the weekend hurricane and what deliciousness you came up with, glad you and Boy are safe. 🙂
Hey Kevin! I love German potato salad and by adding the chicken you certainly have turned it into a comfort food meal! This would be a great way to use some leftover Thanksgiving turkey!
Exactly Dorothy! Good stuff. I’ll email you regarding the cookies. Made them this weekend. 🙂
This sounds like a super easy and super delicious meal! I love picking up a rotisserie chicken…so many uses for it! And you got my attention with these potatoes…fried in bacon fat? Yes, please!! I bet they are loaded with flavor!
Yes, they are and I love the vinegar that kinda cuts through that, but adds so much. Great combo of flavors in this one!
