Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 lbs red potatoes
- 1 tsp salt (for boiling potatoes)
- 9 slices bacon
- ½ cup sweet onion diced
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup chicken broth no or low sodium
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley diced
Instructions
- Chop potatoes: Clean potatoes and quarter, or if using larger potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch chunks. (Make them bite sized for easier eating. They don’t get peeled)
- Boil Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water and heat over medium/high heat.
- Bring water to a boil and add in the salt. Stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat and continue to simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Drain the water, return the potatoes to the pot, place on the now turned off burner, this will help the potatoes dry off.
- While the potatoes boil, prepare the vinaigrette: Dice the bacon, cook in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onion and continue to cook until bacon is crisp and onions are softened.
- Add the vinegar, and allow this to cook for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Pour in the chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
- Remove potatoes from the pot to the serving dish.
- Add Dressing: Pour the dressing over the potatoes while they are still warm.
- Stir to combine.
- Serve salad warm. Garnish with fresh parsley or diced chives.

Notes
Leftovers & Storage:
- Store leftovers in a a sealed container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Salad can be served cold from the fridge. The dressing will soak into the potatoes the longer it is stored, so stir in some additional chicken broth if needed.
