Tossing the potatoes with salt and vinegar and then bacon fat while they're still warm allows the flavors to really penetrate. Chopped chives add a delicate oniony flavor.

- 3 lb. medium boiling potaotes, scrubbed shopping list
- 3 tbps. white-wine vinegar shopping list
- 1/4 lb. bacon (approx. 5 slices) shopping list
- 2 tbps. olive oil shopping list
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped chives shopping list
How to make it
- Cover the potatoes generously with salted water (1 tbps salt to 3 quarts water) in pot and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Drain potatoes.
