  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ lbs. baby gold potatoes, washed and unpeeled.
  • 6–7 slices thick-cut bacon, drippings reserved
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • Salt/pepper
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon cold butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • Chives
  • Dill

Instructions

  1. Measure out all ingredients while cooking the bacon.
  2. Cut the bacon in half, cook it slowly in a large skillet over medium-low heat, tilting the skillet to spoon out drippings. Once crispy, set aside on a paper towel and chop once cooled, leaving 1 heaping tablespoon of drippings in the skillet.
  3. In a large pot, cover the potatoes with 2 inches of water. Bring to a gentle boil, adding salt once boiling. Cook until fork tender but not overly soft, about 12-15 minutes, then drain and cut in half, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. In the reserved skillet, add the diced onions and cook over medium heat for 20-25 minutes until caramelized. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
  5. Add minced shallots to the skillet and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Stir in chicken broth, white vinegar, Dijon, and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, stirring in half of the bacon and covering partially.
  6. Remove the sauce from heat, swirl in cold butter, and stir in parsley.
  7. Add the warm potatoes, stirring gently to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with remaining bacon, chives, and dill. Serve warm.
