In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy.

Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

Reserve about 2–3 tbsp of bacon fat in the pan.

Stir in vinegar, water, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 1–2 minutes.

5. Combine

Add the warm potatoes to the skillet.

Gently toss to coat in the dressing.
