Crisp the Bacon: While the potatoes are simmering, lay the bacon strips in a large, deep skillet set over medium-high heat. Cook until the bacon achieves a deep golden-brown hue and a satisfying crispness, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Reserve the flavorful drippings in the skillet. Once cooled, chop or crumble the bacon into delectable pieces.

Craft the Vinaigrette: To the reserved bacon drippings in the skillet, add sugar and flour, stirring until a smooth paste forms. Gradually pour in the water and white wine vinegar. Over medium heat, continuously stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to enrich the dressing. Continue cooking until the dressing thickens to a luscious consistency, approximately 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Combine and Season: Introduce the cooked potatoes, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions to the skillet with the vinaigrette. Gently stir to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated in the tangy dressing. Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
Feel free to adjust the vinegar and sugar to customize the sweet and sour balance to your liking.
For a richer flavor, consider using apple cider vinegar instead of white wine vinegar.
This salad can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
Add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing for extra tang.
