Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby red potatoes
  • 8 slices turkey bacon (or plant-based bacon)
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes: In a large pot, cover washed potatoes with cold water and add salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let steam dry for about five minutes before cutting into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Fry the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook chopped turkey bacon until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon to paper towels.
  3. Sauté onion and garlic: In the same skillet, sauté diced onion until translucent, then add minced garlic for an additional minute.
  4. Whisk dressing: In the skillet with onion and garlic remnants, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and apple cider vinegar until combined.
  5. Combine: Pour the dressing over warm potatoes and gently toss in crispy bacon and fresh parsley.
  6. Serve: Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm or chilled.
