Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds diced red potatoes
- 1 pound bacon
- 1 cup diced red 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
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the diced red potatoes and boil until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- In a cold large skillet, add diced bacon. Heat over medium heat and cook until crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the grease in the pan.
- Add diced red onion to the bacon grease and cook for 5 minutes until the onions are soft. Whisk in distilled white vinegar, olive oil, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked potatoes. Toss with bacon and chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot or chill to serve cold.
Notes
For a healthier option, consider using turkey bacon instead of traditional bacon.
Feel free to garnish with additional parsley for freshness.
