Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds Yukon gold or red potatoes, boiled and sliced
  • 6 to 8 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon or yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until just tender, then drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Slice the potatoes into rounds or bite-sized pieces.
  3. Cook the chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  4. Sauté the finely chopped onion in the bacon fat until soft and translucent.
  5. Make the dressing by adding vinegar, mustard, optional sugar, and broth to the skillet, bringing to a gentle simmer.
  6. Combine the warm sliced potatoes and crispy bacon into the skillet, tossing to coat.
  7. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Leftover potato salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For a tangier flavor, adjust the vinegar. Add dill or chives for a fresh twist.
