Simmer the potatoes over medium-high heat until they are firmly done.

Let the potatoes cool down, preferably in the morning for easier peeling and cutting later.

Finely chop the onion and add it to a large bowl.

Peel and cut the potatoes into slices and add them on top of the onions.

Finely chop the pickles and the apple, then mix them with lemon juice.

Add the apples and pickles on top of the potatoes.

Chop the bacon finely and fry it for a couple of minutes.

Add the broth to the pan and bring to a boil.

In a mixing bowl, add the vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and mustard, and mix well.

Add the oil to the mixture.

Pour the warm bacon vinaigrette over the potato salad and toss it lightly.

Serve lukewarm or allow to rest for about 30 minutes to develop the flavor.
