Ingredients

Steps

  3. Cook the onion in the bacon fat until soft, about 5 minutes.

  4. Whisk in the vinegar, sugar, mustard, and stock, and simmer 2 minutes.

  5. Pour the warm dressing over the sliced potatoes and toss gently to coat.

  6. Stir in the crispy bacon and herbs, season to taste, and serve warm.
