Ingredients

  • 2 pounds red potatoes
  • 1 medium red onion diced
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic minced
  • ½ cup beef stock
  • cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ cup chopped parsley
  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and chopped

Instructions

  • Cut the potatoes in halves and place in a pan. Cover with water and boil over medium heat till fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Do not overcook, you don’t want them to fall apart.
  • Remove the potatoes from the water and slice into bite sized pieces. You can peel the potatoes or leave the skins on.
  • In a small bowl, combine the onion, garlic, beef stock, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper, and olive oil.
  • Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and sprinkle with parsley. Gently toss to combine.
  • Add the bacon pieces before serving.

Notes

  • Cook the potatoes until they are fork tender, but still firm and not falling apart.
  • There's no need to peel the potatoes, just give them a wash.
  • Pour the dressing over when the potatoes are still warm.
