For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the vinegar dressing. If you prefer a sweeter salad, adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. This potato salad is delicious served warm or at room temperature. It also reheats well. Experiment with different types of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar, for a unique twist.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
20 mins
In a large pot, place the diced red potatoes and cover them with water. Season generously with salt and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 20 minutes. Drain well and transfer the cooked potatoes to a slow cooker.
02
Step
10 mins
Place the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until the bacon is evenly browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cooled slightly, crumble the bacon and add it to the potatoes in the slow cooker.
03
Step
7 mins
Return the skillet to medium heat, retaining the flavorful bacon drippings. Add the diced sweet onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they become translucent and softened, approximately 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes more. Pour the onion and garlic mixture over the potatoes and bacon in the slow cooker.
04
Step
0 mins
In a separate bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, water, white sugar, and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Pour this tangy dressing evenly over the potato mixture in the slow cooker. Gently stir the potatoes to ensure they are well coated with the dressing.
05
Step
4 hrs
Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low heat for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution. The potatoes should be infused with the tangy flavors, and the salad should be heated through.
