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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until combined.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the cooked and drained potatoes to the skillet and gently toss them in the warm dressing until evenly coated.

Step 7

Fold in the crumbled bacon and chopped fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

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.
