Ingredients  

  • 2 pounds small red potatoes, unpeeled
  • 8 slices uncooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups diced yellow onions
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions 

  • Boil the potatoes in a large pot of water until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes then allow them to cool completely. Cut the potatoes into quarters then add them to a large bowl. 
  • Add the bacon to a large sauté pan set over medium heat. Cook the bacon until it is crispy and all of the fat has rendered off. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate, leaving 3 tablespoons of the drippings in the pan.
  • Add the diced onions to the pan and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent. Stir in the apple cider vinegar, whole grain mustard, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup water. Simmer the mixture for 3 minutes until it has reduced to 1 cup. 
  • Pour the dressing over the potatoes, add the cooked bacon and toss to combine. Stir in the chives and serve warm.
