Description

A tangy and flavorful potato salad made with tender potatoes, crispy bacon, and a zesty vinegar dressing. Perfect as a side dish or main course!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook in the bacon drippings until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm potatoes, bacon, and cooked onions. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss to coat.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use olive oil instead of vegetable oil.
  • This salad can be made ahead of time and served chilled or at room temperature.
