Lemon juice provides acidity with fewer calories, while white vinegar is often cheaper.

Chop 1/2 pound of bacon into smaller pieces and cook in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until fat is rendered.

Add 1 chopped onion to the bacon and sauté until soft and slightly caramelized, using a spatter screen to help steam the onion.

Add 1 tablespoon of flour and 6 tablespoons of sugar to the bacon and onion, mixing well.

Pour in 1/2 cup of cold water and 1/2 cup of white vinegar, stirring until a smooth sauce forms.

Add 8 peeled, cooked, and sliced yellow potatoes to the sauce and stir to coat.

Cook until the potatoes are heated through, then serve hot, warm, or cold.
