Number of Servings: 4
Put the potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold salted water. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes until tender. Drain and cool until easy to handle. Meanwhile put the bacon in a frying pan without adding any fat. Cook over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring until browned. Remove the bacon to a sheet of kitchen paper and allow to drain. Add the onion to the bacon fat in the pan. Cook over a medium heat for about 5 minutes until just starting to brown. Stir in the flour, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook gently for 1 minute stirring continuously. Gradually stir in 7 tablespoon water and vinegar. Bring to the boil, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Peel and then cut the potatoes into 3/4″ cubes. Add to the frying pan. Cook over a low heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring gently, until thoroughly heated through. To serve, spoon into a warm serving dish and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
