Calories: 261kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 cups diced peeled potatoes
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup water
  • cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp celery salt (or regular salt)
  • fresh or dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes into a pot, and fill it with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Immediately drain, and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Using your preferred method fry the bacon until browned and crisp. Reserve the bacon grease.
  • Combine the bacon grease and onion in a large skillet, and cook over medium heat until the onions are translucent and just starting to brown.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and celery salt to the pan. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. If serving warm add the potatoes and half of the bacon to the pan and heat through, then transfer to a serving dish. Crumble the remaining bacon over the top, and serve warm. Top with fresh or dried parsley if desired.
  • To serve cold, pour the sauce and half the bacon over the top of the potatoes in a bowl. Stir to combine and refrigerate until ready to serve, sprinkle the remaining half of the bacon on top before serving.
