Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Red Potatoes
  • 0.25 cup Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • 3 tablespoons White or Cider Vinegar
  • 0.5 tablespoon White Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon or German Mustard
  • 12 ounces Beef Bacon
  • 1 medium Red Onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2-3 tablespoons Italian Parsley, chopped
  • To taste Salt & Pepper
  • For garnish Chives

Instructions
 

  • Boil the whole potatoes with their skins on until they are easily pierced with a knife. Drain and let them cool slightly for easy handling.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, whisk together the broth, vinegar, sugar, and mustard in a bowl. This will become the dressing.
  • Cut the bacon into pieces and fry in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
  • In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the dressing mixture, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until the liquid reduces by half.
  • Cut the boiled potatoes into chunks. Add them to the skillet along with cooked bacon and chopped parsley. Toss everything together to coat the potatoes well.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, garnished with chives if desired.

Notes

  • Use bacon fat to enhance the dish's richness, boil potatoes with skins for better flavor and texture, and serve warm for the best taste.
