2. Cook bacon until crispy, reserve about 2 tablespoons of fat and transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
   
3. Add red onion and bacon fat and cook over medium heat until starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
4. Whisk in apple cider vinegar, water, olive oil, mustard, and sugar. Bring mixture to a simmer, then turn off heat and season with salt and pepper.
5. Stir in green onions and gradually pour mixture over potatoes. Crumble the bacon over the potatoes.
6. Toss to combine and serve warm.
