🥘 Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 medium-sized, finely diced Yellow onion
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

2. While the water heats, scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes. Leave the skins on for texture and flavor.

3. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks, about 1-inch in size.

4. Add the potato chunks to the boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain well and set aside.

5. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve the bacon grease in the skillet.

6. Add the diced onion to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

7. Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

8. Crumble the cooked bacon and gently fold it into the skillet along with the cooked potatoes.

9. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and toss everything together to coat the potatoes in the warm dressing.

10. Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

11. Serve warm and enjoy!
