Step 1
Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks and boil in salted water until fork-tender, ~12 minutes.
Step 2
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high until crispy, ~6 minutes, then chop into bite-size pieces.
Step 3
Drain potatoes and return to the warm pot with the bacon, apple cider vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Toss gently until the potatoes absorb the dressing, ~2 minutes—it should look glossy and smell tangy.
Step 5
Serve warm alongside the bacon-wrapped sausage and garden salad.
