Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until they are just fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooling, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble once cooled.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet and discard the rest. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the dressing is well combined and slightly thickened.
Slice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl. Pour the warm dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to coat.
Add the crumbled bacon and fresh parsley. Toss again until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Serve the potato salad warm or at room temperature as a side dish. Enjoy!
