1tablespoonDijon mustard
1teaspoongranulated sugar
1/2teaspoonsaltplus more for seasoning
1/4teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper

Instructions
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside on a paper towel to drain, reserving the bacon fat in the skillet.
Sauté the chopped onion in the reserved bacon fat until translucent and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper through the onions. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss to coat with the dressing. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the potatoes have absorbed the dressing.
Remove from heat, gently fold in the crispy bacon and fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
