Ingredients

• 2 lbs baby potatoes
• 8 slices bacon
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet and discard the rest.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are softened and lightly golden. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. Add the salt and black pepper, and whisk to combine.

Step 5

Cut the cooked potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size, and place them in a large mixing bowl. Crumble the cooked bacon and add it to the bowl along with the sautéed onions and garlic.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and gently toss everything together until well-coated. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and give it one final toss.

Step 7

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