Methodology:

Boil the potatoes until done, then cool until you can peel and slice them into 1/4" slices.

Sauté bacon in a medium saucepan until brown.  Remove, reserving 2 1/2 T grease in pan.  Discard remaining grease.  Sauté onion for 2 minutes, or until translucent.  Whisk in remaining ingredients, aside from dill.  Simmer until reduced to 2/3 c, about 4 minutes.  Remove from heat.

Add potatoes and toss to coat with dressing.  Let stand 3 minutes.  Add dill and bacon, season to taste and toss again.  Serve warm.
