Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 0.33 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Scrub the potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, place the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pan.
Chop the onion finely and add it to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent.
Add the apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces and chop the parsley finely.
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the warm potatoes with the vinegar dressing until well coated. Add the crumbled bacon and chopped parsley, stirring gently to combine.
Serve the potato salad warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
