Ingredients
– 2 pounds (approximately 900 grams) red potatoes
– 1 teaspoon salt for boiling
– 12 ounces (about 340 grams) bacon
– 1/3 cup (about 80 milliliters) apple cider vinegar
– 1 to 3 tablespoons granulated sugar to taste
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1/2 teaspoon salt for seasoning
– Freshly ground black pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (about 3 cloves)
– 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1-Prep the potatoes: Wash 2 pounds of red potatoes and cut into evenly sized pieces. Boil in cold water with 1 teaspoon salt until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2-Steam dry: Drain and let them sit in the pot uncovered for a few minutes. This helps them absorb the dressing without getting mushy.
3-Cook the bacon: Cut 12 ounces bacon into pieces and fry in a pot over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, keep the grease hot.
4-Build the dressing: Slowly add 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar, 1-3 tablespoons sugar (taste as you go), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to the bacon grease. Simmer, then stir in 1 tablespoon minced garlic until fragrant.
5-Toss gently: Add sliced potatoes to the dressing, mix carefully to coat without breaking them.
6-Finish up: Fold in crispy bacon and 1/2 cup chopped parsley. Serve warm or hot.
