Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks and boil in salted water until fork-tender, ~12 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high until crispy, ~6 minutes, then chop into bite-size pieces.

  3. Step 3

    Drain potatoes and return to the warm pot with the bacon, apple cider vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Toss gently until the potatoes absorb the dressing, ~2 minutes—it should look glossy and smell tangy.

  5. Step 5

    Serve warm alongside the bacon-wrapped sausage and garden salad.
