Ingredients
- ½ pound Bacon (cut into small pieces)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
- ⅔ cup water
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4 cups diced red potatoes (peeled and cooked)
Instructions
- Fry bacon pieces and chopped onion together until bacon is cooked through to as crispy as you’d like it.
- Remove the bacon and onion from the pan and drain on a paper towel. Leave the bacon grease in the pan (it should be about 2 tablespoons of fat. If there is less, add oil).
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, salt, pepper, vinegar and water. Set aside.
- Add the flour to the grease in the skillet and use a whisk to blend it.
- Add the sugar/water mixture to the pan with the bacon grease roux. Use a whisk to mix well.
- Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and allow the mixture to slightly thicken.
- Place the cooked potatoes in a bowl and add the bacon and onion.
- Pour the dressing over the potatoes. Mix well.
- Serve hot.
