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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces and chop the parsley finely.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve the potato salad warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
