Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 pounds potatoes (waxy variety, such as Yukon Gold)
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup onions, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons mild brown mustard
  • 1/2 bunch chives, snipped

Directions
  1. Cook the potatoes in simmering salted water until just tender, about 15-18 minutes. Drain and dry. While the potatoes are still hot, remove the skins and slice the potatoes 1/2-inch thick.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. Cook the bacon over medium-high heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon, reserving the bacon fat in the pan; crumble the bacon into small pieces, and reserve.
  3. Bring the chicken broth, vinegar, onions, salt, sugar, and pepper to a boil.
  4. Combine the oil, rendered bacon fat, and mustard with the warm potatoes. Pour the boiling broth-vinegar mixture over the potatoes. Toss in the crumbled bacon and chives.
  5. The salad may be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
