Instructions:

Boil 6-8 small to medium potatoes until done but still firm. Let cool, then peel and slice the potatoes about 1/4 inch thick. Dice 4-5 slices of bacon, then fry slowly until crisp. Reserve a small amount of the bacon grease. Dice and fry 1 onion until clear. Remove cooked onions from pan and put aside. 
 
In the remaining bacon grease, stir 2 tablespoons flour until smooth. Add 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir to make a paste. 
 
To 1/4 cup vinegar, then add enough water to make a full cup. Stir gradually into flour mixture. Bring to boil. Add another 1/2 cup of water if necessary. 
 
Pour sauce over sliced potatoes and add bacon and onions, with chopped parsley on top.

Mix gently and serve hot.
