Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 lb red or russet potatoes
2 pkg 12.oz bacon
1 1/2 c sugar
3/4 c vinegar
2 1/4 c water
1 c chopped onion
1/2 c flour or cornstarch
1 to 2 Tbsp water
medium crock pot
large bowl

Steps:

  • 1. Peel all of the potatoes, cook until done, but not mushy. You want them to be a little firm, but not undercooked. Cool down so you can hold them to cut them into chunks like in roast. I cut the potatoes in long halves and then cut into the chunks.
  • 2. Put the vinegar, sugar and 1st Water ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil. Stir frequently. Turn off the heat. In a separate measuring cup or a tall cup, mix the 1/2c Flour "or" Cornstarch with the 1 tbsp water to start out with and add little amounts of water to the mixture to make it a gravy type of consistency. You don't want this too runny. Then once mixed add it to the saucepan with the other ingredients. Stir well.
  • 3. Cut up or snip with scissors the Bacon into 1/2 inch pieces and fry until crispy. Save the grease. Chop up the onion.
  • 4. Put Potatoes, onion, and Bacon into Large Mixing Bowl (It's Easier to mix together) pour sauce over everything in bowl. With the bacon grease add 4 to 6 tbsp, salt and pepper to taste and again stir. Transfer the mixture into the Crock Pot and put it on high for the 1st hour or you see it bubbling and then turn on low. It needs to all soak in the potatoes. I give it at least 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. Then Serve and enjoy! It really taste great the next day reheated!
