Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby red potatoes, rinsed, halved
Meat
- 1 ring (13.5 ounces) kielbasa, sliced into ¼-inch slices
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
Dressing
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup (80 g) apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon coarse ground mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Potatoes
- To a large pot of salted water, add potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until fork tender. While the potatoes are cooking, get started on the rest of the recipe.
- When the potatoes are done cooking, drain the water and place the potatoes in a large bowl. Cover to keep the potatoes warm while you finish with the recipe.
Meat
- In a medium non-stick pan over medium heat, add the kielbasa. Brown on each side, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the kielbasa from the skillet and place on a plate. Set aside.
- To the same skillet over medium heat, add bacon. Cook for 9-11 minutes, or until crispy. Transfer the bacon to the same plate as the kielbasa leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
Dressing
- To the pan with the bacon grease, add the onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is softened.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Add the vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Pour the mixture over the potatoes, gently tossing to coat.
- To the bowl of potatoes, add the kielbasa, bacon, and parsley. Gently mix together. Serve warm or at room temperature.
