• 150g bacon, diced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp white vinegar
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1 tbsp sugar
• Salt and pepper
• Fresh chives for garnish

Instructions:

1. Boil potatoes with skin on until tender, peel and slice while warm.
2. Fry bacon until crisp; add onions and cook until soft.
3. Mix vinegar, oil, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
