vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

1

Chop 1 pound of bacon into pieces and fry it in a skillet until crispy.

2

Save 1/4 cup of the bacon grease from the skillet.

3

Chop 1/2 cup of onion into a medium dice.

4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook until almost translucent.

5

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, a dash of pepper, and 1 teaspoon of celery seed.

6

Stir the dry ingredients into the skillet with the onions and bacon grease for about a minute.

7

Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar and 1 cup of water to the skillet and cook until the mixture thickens and bubbles.

8

Temper 2 beaten eggs by adding a little of the thickened mixture to them, stirring to prevent scrambling.

9

Quickly stir the tempered eggs back into the skillet and cook until the eggs are set, about a few seconds.

10

Boil the potatoes until tender, then drain and cool slightly before peeling and dicing them.

11

In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, crumbled bacon, and the dressing from the skillet.

12

Fold the mixture together gently to combine without breaking the potatoes.

13

Garnish with chopped parsley and extra bacon, and optionally pimento before serving.
