Warm Bacon Potato Salad


Ingredients:

1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon coarse-grained mustard
1 tablespoon sugar
2 1/2 pounds red potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
salt
6 bacon slices, chopped
1 medium sized red onion, diced
black pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup freshly chopped dill leaves

Directions:

For the Vinaigrette:
Mix together the white wine vinegar, mustard, sugar in a small bowel and set aside.

Add potatoes to pot of salted cold water. Bring to boil, over high heat then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20 minutes until tender. Drain and place in large bowel. Cover with foil to keep warm.

Add bacon to large saute pan and cook until crisp over medium heat. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray and reserve. Add onion, garlic and dash of pepper to bacon grease and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Add vinaigrette to vegetables, let cook until reduced and thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Add potatoes, dill and bacon to the pan and toss to coat with dressing. Allow to cook for 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
