In a large dutch oven or heavy bottom pan, heat over medium high heat. Add sausage and brown. Once browned, add onion and garlic. Let cook for 4-5 minutes or until onion is softened. Add diced potatoes and stir to combine.
Add 2 tablespoons of flour, stir and let cook for 2-3 minutes. Add white wine, cook for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add chicken broth and bacon.
Lower heat and cover, cook for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are completely tender and cooked through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
