First, put the potatoes on the stovetop and boil them in their jacket potatoes (about 25 minutes). In the meantime, cut the fatty bacon into small cubes and place them in a saucepan. Fry over medium heat until crispy. Then add 2 tablespoons of flour and make a roux. Add water if needed. The sauce can be a bit thicker. Season to taste with mustard, sugar, and vinegar. If desired, refine it with more mustard and vinegar. Bring water to a boil in a second saucepan and add vinegar, a little more than usual. When the water boils again, crack one egg at a time into the water/vinegar mixture and cook for about 1-2 minutes. The eggs will have shrunk due to the vinegar and can now be removed and placed in the sauce (so feel free to leave the sauce a bit thicker). Peel the cooked potatoes, divide them between plates, and serve with the sauce and eggs.
