Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium Potatoes peeled and diced
  • 4 slices Bacon chopped
  • 3 tbsp White vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth low-sodium
  • 2 tbsp Chives chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • While the potatoes cook, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Place the cooked potatoes in a large bowl, then pour the hot vinegar mixture over the potatoes. Toss gently to coat.
  • Top with the crispy bacon and chopped chives. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

This salad is best served warm, but it can also be enjoyed cold. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste.
