Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with water until it is 1" over the top of the potatoes. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove the lid and reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the potatoes are tender but still firm. Drain well in a colander.
- Step 2
When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, place in a large bowl.
- Step 3
While the potatoes cook, cook the bacon in a large skillet according to package instructions. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel lined plate to blot excess grease.
- Step 4
Crumble or chop the bacon when cool enough to handle.
- Step 5
Reserve 1/4 cup of the bacon drippings, and add the red onion. Cook over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds longer.
- Step 6
Add the water, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, salt and pepper to the pan and whisk well.
- Step 7
Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half and thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Step 8
Add the warm bacon dressing, fresh parsley and dill to the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Enjoy warm or cold!
