Ingredients
•
3 cups diced peeled potatoes
•
4 slices bacon
•
1 small onion, diced
•
1/4 cup white vinegar
•
2 tablespoons water
•
1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
1
Gather the ingredients.
2
Place potatoes in a large pot and add water to cover by at least 1 to 2 inches; bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside to cool.
3
While the potatoes are cooking, place bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry until browned and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble when cool enough to handle. Leave bacon grease in the skillet.
4
Cook onion in the bacon grease over medium heat until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add vinegar, sugar, water, salt, and pepper to the pan and bring to a boil.
5
Once boiling, add potatoes, and 1/2 of the crumbled bacon. Cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
6
Transfer warm potato salad to a serving dish and sprinkle remaining crumbled bacon over top. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
