Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes
  • 6 slices bacon chopped
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then slice potatoes into halves or quarters.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté in the bacon drippings until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the vinegar mixture into the skillet with the onions and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the sliced potatoes and cooked bacon to the skillet, gently tossing to coat the potatoes in the dressing. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley before serving.
