Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes washed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 6 strips of bacon diced
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
- 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place sliced potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced bacon and cook until crisp, about 7-8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain. Leave about 2-3 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook until soft and slightly golden, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the vinegar, Dijon mustard, dried dill, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Pour in the broth and cook for 2-3 minutes, letting the mixture heat through and thicken slightly.
- Place the cooked potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm dressing over them and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Add the crispy bacon to the potatoes and mix gently until combined.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or black pepper if needed.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with parsley for a fresh touch.
