Warm bacon and potato salad

Happy Memorial Day!  Many of you know that I do not like Mayonnaise based salads, especially during an outside BBQ or Picnic.  I have been trying different recipes for a "warm" potato salad and I finally now have one that I enjoy.

Ingredients:
2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes
8 slices of hickory smoked bacon (or your favorite kind of bacon)
1/2 a large red onion diced  (about half a cup)
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbs Country Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp salt
chopped chives for garnish


Boil the potatoes with 1/2 tsp of salt until they are fork tender.  Drain and chop into rounds.
In a large saute pan cook bacon until crispy. Once bacon is done put on paper towels to drain.  Keep 1/4 bacon fat in the pan and add the onions.  Cook the onions until they become translucent.
Whisk together the vinegar, sugar, mustard and remaining 1tsp of salt.  Add to pan and cook until it begins to thicken.  Return potatoes to pan and carefully stir.  Do not stir too much or your potatoes will break apart.  Top with chives and crumbled bacon.
