Ingredients

2 lbs Yukon Gold or Red potatoes
1 tablespoon salt
8 slices bacon, chopped
1 small sweet onion chopped
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
1½ tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Add the potatoes to a large pot with cold water and a tablespoon of salt. Bring the pot to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle boil and cook until fork tender, 15-20 minutes. It is best not to overcook them. Place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Cut into large bite-sized pieces.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it is crispy. Remove the cooked bacon to paper towels to drain. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until tender.
Add the vinegar, sugar, and Dijon mustard. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the cooked potatoes and bacon to the skillet. Toss to coat while warming over the low heat. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave at reduced power for short intervals until warm.
