Ingredients

2 po red potatoes, unpeeled
6 slices bacon, diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
⅓ cup chicken broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Potatoes
Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
Step 3: Prepare the Dressing
Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Cook over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine.
Step 4: Combine Ingredients
Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the warm dressing. Stir in the crispy bacon and chopped parsley.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For added flavor, sprinkle the salad with a pinch of smoked paprika before serving.
If you prefer a slightly sweeter salad, increase the sugar to 3 tablespoons.
