Ingredients
- 3 pounds red potatoes
- 1 pound Bacon thick cut
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 2/3 cup white vinegar
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
Instructions
- In a large pot salted with 2 tablespoons of salt, boil the whole, unpeeled, potatoes for 10-15 minutes until fork tender.
- When the potatoes have finished cooking drain the water and set the potatoes aside to cool. Once they have cooled enough to handle cut each one in half and then into half moon slices about ½ inch thick.
- In a skillet cook the bacon in batches, setting aside on a paper towel-lined plate to remove the excess grease. Reserve ¼ cup of the grease and dispose of the rest.
- In the same skillet cook the onions in the reserved fat from the bacon and add vinegar, chicken stock, sugar, dijon, salt and pepper whisking together. Bring to a low boil and let the liquid reduce to about 1 cup, approximately 7-10 minutes.
- Place potatoes and crumbled cooked bacon in a large bowl and pour the dressing over them gently folding them together until everything is coated.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and chives.
- Serve warm.
