Step 1:

Cut the potatoes into medium wedges or 3/4-inch (2 cm) cubes. Peel them first, or — if they're new potatoes — just scrub them with a brush. Put the potatoes in a pot, add just enough cold water to cover them, and set over medium heat. Once it boils, cook until tender, about 12 minutes, then drain in a colander.
Step 2:

While the potatoes cook, put the bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to render out the fat. Slice the sausages into rounds.
Step 3:

Peel the onions and cut them into medium slivers. Chop the parsley, mincing the stems especially fine. Slice the cornichons into thin rounds.
Step 4:

When the bacon is crisp and browned, remove it and set it on paper towels. Into the same skillet with the rendered fat, add the onions and sausages. Turn up the heat and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring.
Step 5:

Pour the vinegar into the skillet, add the sugar and the parsley stems, and simmer, stirring, until almost all the vinegar has cooked off. Add the potatoes to the skillet, stir, and remove from the heat.
Step 6:

Once the potatoes have cooled a bit (after about 10 minutes), add the parsley leaves, cornichons, salt, and pepper. Toss well and serve warm or fully cooled, topped with the bacon crumbled between your fingers. Done! Enjoy!
