Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs small red potatoes scrubbed
  • 2 tsp fine salt for cooking water
  • 6 slices bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 medium red onion finely diced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt for dressing
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Cover whole potatoes with cold water by 1 inch; add cooking salt. Gently simmer 15 to 20 minutes until easily pierced. Drain; cool 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium 8 to 10 minutes until crisp. Transfer to plate; retain 2 tablespoons fat and discard excess.
  3. Cook onion in fat 4 minutes until soft. Add vinegar, broth, Dijon, sugar, dressing salt, and pepper; simmer 2 minutes, stirring.
  4. Slice warm potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds, halving large ones. Add with bacon; gently fold over low 2 minutes to coat.
  5. Remove from heat; rest 5 minutes to absorb dressing. Serve warm.
