4 lb. potatoes
1/2 lb. bacon
1/2 c. sugar

When cool, peel and dice.
Fry bacon very crispy and crumble over diced potatoes with chopped onion and parsley flakes.
Leave half the bacon grease in frying pan and add vinegar and sugar.
Bring to a boil and simmer 5 or 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, to dissolve sugar.
Test for proper sweet and sour taste.
Add more vinegar or sugar, if needed.
Pour over potatoes and stir from the bottom to be sure the vinegar mixture soaks the potatoes well.
