3 pounds potatoes, skinned, boiled, and sliced 1/4″ thick
1 cup water
2/3 – 3/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large heavy bottom pot, melt the shortening. Add the onion and saute until softened and browning. Add the potatoes, water, vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for an hour, stirring occasionally. The potatoes will begin to soak up the sauce.
Test for seasonings halfway through. Add any additional salt, sugar, pepper, or vinegar if desired.
