Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Red potatoes
- 8 slices Bacon
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 0.333 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Scrub the red potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water, bring to a boil, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel to drain. Crumble the bacon into small pieces once cooled.
In the same skillet, using the bacon drippings, add the chopped yellow onion and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and lightly caramelized.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until combined.
Pour the vinegar mixture into the skillet with the onions and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Add the cooked and drained potatoes to the skillet and gently toss them in the warm dressing until evenly coated.
Fold in the crumbled bacon and chopped fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a light main course. This dish is best eaten fresh but can be reheated if necessary.
