Ingredients
- 2 pounds potato skin on and chopped, red
- 4 lices Bacon diced
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar white granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions thinly sliced (optional garnish)
- 1/4 cup parsley optional garnish, chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Chop the potatoes into bite size pieces. Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with water until they are at least an inch covered. Generously salt the water. Turn the pot to medium high heat and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes until soft, about 10-14 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set to the side.
- Place bacon pieces into a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Cook and stir until crispy, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and set the bacon to the side but don't wipe the bacon fat out of the pan.
- Turn the heat to medium on the burner. Add the vinegar, sugar and water to the pan with the bacon drippings and bring to a simmer. scraping all the bacon bits from the base of the pan, then add salt and pepper.
- Once the sauce is simmering, add the drained potatoes to the pan. Stir gently until the potatoes begin to absorb the hot dressing. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the bacon and mix into the potatoes, and you can also add chopped parlsey and green onion. I like to put half of the potato mixture in my serving bowl, then add parsley and green onions. Then I top with the rest of the potatoes and more parsley and green onions, and toss. Enjoy hot!
