Ingredients:

Serving

3 lb yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1/2 lb bacon , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 to 3 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp chopped dill

Directions:

Steam potatoes in a large steamer rack set over boiling water, covered, until very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving fat in skillet. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar, sugar, and 3/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper to hot bacon fat, scraping up brown bits.
Transfer potatoes to a large bowl, reserving 1/2 cup steaming water. Add vinegar mixture to potatoes and smash with a potato masher to desired texture, adding reserved water if desired. Stir in dill, bacon, and vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.
