Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 Yellow onion
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized chunks, leaving the skin on if desired.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet.

Step 4

Finely dice the yellow onion and add it to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the onions and bring to a simmer.

Step 6

Crumble the cooled bacon into small pieces and add it to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the dressing cook for 2-3 minutes to develop its flavor.

Step 7

Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Gently toss them with the dressing to ensure they are evenly coated. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on low heat to warm the potatoes through.

Step 8

Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad as a garnish. Serve the potato salad warm and enjoy!
