Steps
1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in 2 pounds diced red potatoes and boil until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain potatoes and place in a large mixing bowl.
2
Meanwhile, add 1 pound bacon to a cold large skillet. Heat over medium heat and cook bacon until crisp, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the grease and set aside on a paper-towel lined plate, leaving the hot grease in the pan.
3
Add 1 cup diced red onion to the grease and cook 5 minutes until onions are soft. Whisk in 1/4 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and1/2 teaspoon black pepper until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
4
Pour sauce over cooked potatoes. Toss with bacon and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot, or chill to serve cold.
