  4. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon, reserving the bacon fat in the pan; crumble the bacon into small pieces, and reserve.
  5. Bring the chicken broth, vinegar, onions, salt, sugar, and pepper to a boil.

  7. Pour the boiling broth-vinegar mixture over the potatoes. Toss in the crumbled bacon and chives.
