Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Small red potatoes
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1/3 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large pot, add the red potatoes and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, chop the bacon into small pieces and finely dice the onion.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon pieces until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.
Add the diced onion to the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and golden brown.
Stir the apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is slightly reduced, about 3-4 minutes.
Cut the cooked potatoes into thick slices or quarters, depending on your preference. Add the potatoes to the skillet with the sauce, gently stirring to coat them evenly.
Fold in the cooked bacon pieces and heat everything through for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the hot German potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
