Slice the red potatoes thin using a knife or mandolin.

Boil the potatoes in a large pot of water until just under fork tender, about 5 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and let them cool enough to handle, then peel the skins off.

Slice the peeled potatoes into rounds.

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and save the fat.

In the bacon fat, sauté the diced onion and grated carrot until soft, about 3-5 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk together the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pepper until the sugar dissolves.

Combine the warm potatoes, sautéed onion, and carrot in a large bowl.

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently to combine.

Garnish with parsley or chives before serving.
