Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds Russet Potato/Irish potato (peeled and cut into chunks/diced)
  • ½ Pound Bacon (I used turkey bacon; diced)
  • ½ Cup Red Onion/shallots (chopped)
  • ¼ -1/2 Cup Chicken Stock (or beef/vegetable)
  • ¼ Cup white cider

  • 2 Tablespoons pickle brine (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Handful of Parsley
  • 1 Green onion (cut into rings)
  • 1 Tablespoon Granulated sugar
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the clean, diced potatoes; you can peel or unpeel if you’re not peeling make sure you scrub the potatoes very well before rinsing. Season with salt and splash a dash of apple cider vinegar; this helps to hold the potato shape.
