Ingredients
- 2 pounds small potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by washing the potatoes and placing them in a large pot. Cover them with water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool before slicing them into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it becomes crispy. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel to drain, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon drippings and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
- Next, pour in the chicken broth and white wine vinegar, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any flavorful bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Stir in the Dijon mustard, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the dressing simmer for a couple of minutes to meld the flavors.
- Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them in the dressing. Sprinkle the crispy bacon on top and gently mix.
- Heat the potato salad over low to medium heat, allowing it to warm through for about 5 minutes. Before serving, garnish with fresh parsley for an added pop of color.
