Ingredients

  • 6 cups red potato peel on, diced
  • 6 lices Bacon
  • 1 white onion diced, medium
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 2-3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the diced potatoes into a large pot and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes completely.
  2. Bring the water to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. You don't want them to start falling apart when pierced, however.
  3. Drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside.
  4. Place the bacon and onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry until the onions are soft and translucent and the bacon is cooked.
  5. Whisk together the vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard and pepper. Taste test and adjust accordingly. ( make it sweeter or more mustard, etc.)
  6. Add the liquid to the skillet and bring to a boil. Add in the potatoes and parsley.
  7. Heat completely through.
  8. Spoon into a serving dish or bowl and serve.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sugar in this to your preference. Mike liked it tarter, I liked it slightly sweeter. It's up to your personal preference.  
  • Also adjust the whole grain mustard to your own liking. I LOVE the stuff and will use more next time.
