German-style baked potatoes

Ingredients:

• 4 medium or large potatoes
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 4 slices smoked bacon, chopped
• 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
• Salt and ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 260°C.
   
   In a large saucepan over medium heat, pre-boil the potatoes for 4 minutes, or prick them with a fork and microwave for 6 minutes. When the potatoes are done, cut each potato into 8 wedges and sprinkle with vinegar.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon, and cook until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to drain on paper towels.
   
   Toss the potatoes with the remaining bacon fat and season with sugar, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven until golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and toss with the parsley and fried bacon.
