Ingredients

4 large waxy-style potatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds)
2 tablespoons, plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 strips bacon (about 2 ounces), minced
1/2 medium Spanish onion, chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

Directions

In a large saucepan, place the potatoes and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Stir in 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until just tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, transfer to a large bowl, and cover with plastic wrap to keep warm.

Meanwhile in a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until crispy and its fat has been released, about 3 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 6 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 45 seconds more. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons salt, broth, vinegar, mustard, and sugar. Bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Remove from the heat.

Using your hands, rub the skins off the potatoes. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Return the potatoes to the large bowl. Pour over the vinegar mixture and toss to coat the potatoes. Toss in the parsley and season with pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

Cook's Note: This potato salad is at its best served immediately or shortly afterwards at room temperature.

STAPLE RECIPE...INCREDIBLE!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This potato salad is so full of flavor and is such a nice change from the traditional, southern style potato salad. I have... served this several times for casual entertaining, and everyone has loved it! Nice presentation, as well.Read more

Loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've never made this before and absolutely loved it! Made this as a side for the pork schnitzel on this site, which was also... very good. Kids has mixed feelings, one liked other didn't. Nice alternative to heavier potato sides. Read more

Very tasty!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Never made potato salad before, and husband won't eat chilled salads, so I tried this one. It was quite tasty - easy to make.... It could be a challenge if you want to serve it for guests, since it's best served fresh and you'll need to step away from your guests to make. I used red potatoes (1 1/2 lb) instead of waxy, used apple cider vinegar instead of white wine vinegar, and used 4 slices of bacon. Very good!Read more

Waxy Potatoes?
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The sauce for this is excellent. However, I would recommend using red potatoes for the recipe instead.
