Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds diced red potatoes
- 1 pound bacon
- 1 cup diced red onion (1 medium onion)
- 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Boil a large pot of water and add 2 pounds of diced red potatoes. Cook until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- In a cold large skillet, add 1 pound of diced bacon. Cook over medium heat until crisp, around 8 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon and transfer to a paper-towel lined plate, keeping the grease in the pan.
- Sauté 1 cup of diced red onion in the remaining grease for 5 minutes until softened. Whisk in 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Heat through for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked potatoes, then add the crispy bacon and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Toss to combine and serve warm, or chill for a cold dish.
