Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold scrubbed and cut into ½ inch slices
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 6 slices bacon chopped
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon grainy German mustard
  • 1 ½ tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Steam potatoes in a stock pot or multi-cooker with a basket until fork-tender, then set aside.
  • In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon and keep the drippings in the pan.
  • Add onion and cook until softened. Turn off heat.

  • Return potatoes to the pan and fold gently with a silicone spatula.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Avoid overcooking the potatoes, as they should hold their shape.
  • Make the dressing while the potatoes cook so everything comes together hot.
  • A small garlic clove or red pepper flakes can be added for more flavor.
