Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Yukon gold or red potatoes (whole, unpeeled, scrubbed)
  • 0.5 Tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz turkey bacon (chopped into 1/2” pieces)
  • 0.5 medium red onion (diced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 Tbsp dill (finely chopped)
  • 2 Tbsp parsley (finely chopped)
  • 0.25 cup chicken stock or vegetable stock (or water)
  • 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard (stone ground mustard, or whole-grain mustard)
  • 1 Tbsp sugar or honey (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt (or to taste)
  • 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions 

  • Boil potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-25 minutes. Drain and cool for 30 minutes.
  • Sauté turkey bacon until crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and reserve 3-4 Tbsp of grease.
  • Sauté red onion in bacon grease until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  • Add vinegar, chicken stock, mustard, and sugar to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Cut warm potatoes into bite-size chunks. Toss with dressing, turkey bacon, and herbs.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use bacon grease instead of olive oil.
