1 large onion -- chopped
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper
8 slices bacon

Cook potatoes in jackets. When cool, peel and slice. Salt and pepper the potato slices. Chop the onions and add to potatoes. Cube the bacon and fry in large fry pan until golden brown. Remove bacon bits from grease in pan, add to pan the water, vinegar, and sugar and bring to boil. Put potato mixture in liquid, stirring occasionally. (Add more liquid if needed). Then add bacon bits and sliced or cubed eggs (if desired). Serve warm. Do not use Idaho potatoes as red ones are best.
