Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of small red potatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Optional: crispy bacon bits

Instructions

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them in half if large.
  • Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.
  • Bring the water to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
  • While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing by whisking together vinegar, oil, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • Dice the onions finely and add them to the dressing.
  • Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add the warm potatoes to the dressing and gently mix to coat.
  • Let the salad sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
