Description

A warm, tangy potato salad with savory bacon flavor, perfect for potlucks and family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1.5–2 pounds small Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 4–6 slices of bacon
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1–2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley (about 2 tablespoons)


Instructions

  1. Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12–18 minutes.
  2. Fry bacon until crisp, then reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
  3. Sauté onions in reserved bacon fat until translucent.
  4. Deglaze the pan with apple cider vinegar and broth, then whisk in Dijon mustard and sugar.
  5. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Drain potatoes, slice into 1/2-inch rounds, and toss immediately with the warm dressing and chopped parsley.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use waxy potatoes for best texture and flavor absorption. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
