Instructions

  1. Start boiling 3 pounds of waxy potatoes, covered by 2 inches of water, until fork-tender (about 10 minutes).

  2. Drain potatoes and let cool for 10 minutes; then peel if desired and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

  3. In a large skillet, cook 4 slices chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp (6-8 minutes).

  4. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving drippings in the skillet.

  5. Add 1 cup chopped yellow onion to drippings and cook until tender (about 5 minutes).

  6. Stir in 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; bring to a boil.

  7. Fold in the cooked bacon and sliced potatoes, stirring until coated and the sauce thickens and clings to potatoes (2-3 minutes); season with salt to taste.

  8. Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped parsley before serving warm.
