Ingredients
- 8 strips bacon, cut into 1/2-inch (0.5 cm) pieces
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch (0.5 cm) cubes (about 2-1/4 lbs or 1 kg.)

- In a large pot or Dutch oven, saute the bacon over medium heat until just beginning to brown -- about 8 minutes. Pour off all except about 1 tbsp. (15 mL) of the bacon fat.
- Add the onions and apple and continue to cook, stirring, until the onion is softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, sausage and chicken broth, stir, then cover the pot and lower the heat to low.
- Cook, stirring once or twice, until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Stir in the parsley, taste, and season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired.
