    Cube potatoes into 1-inch pieces, boil in salted water until fork-tender, ~12 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour off all but 2 tbsp bacon fat, then whisk in vinegar and mustard until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Drain potatoes, add to the skillet, and toss until evenly coated, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm or at room temperature.
