Instructions

Step 1:

Fill a large pot with cold water then add the potatoes. Make sure they are covered. Bring it to a boil, then season the water with salt. Once boiling, reduce the heat and cover it with a lid. Let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until fork tender. Drain the water and leave the potatoes in the pot, letting them cool for about 5 minutes. Once you can handle them, slice the potatoes into chunks and put them back in the pot.

Step 2:

Time to fry the bacon. While waiting for the potatoes, fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Once crispy, transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel using a slotted spoon.

Step 3:

In the same skillet, saute the onion for about 3 to 4 minutes, until softened. Next, add the garlic and saute for another minute.

Step 4:

Add the honey, mustard, salt, and pepper to the onion and garlic. Whisk the ingredients, while pouring the vinegar. Continue whisking for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 5:

Pour the dressing over the chopped potatoes in the pot. Add the crispy bacon pieces and gently toss everything together. Don’t mash the potatoes. Transfer to a plate and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve and enjoy!
