Drain the beans and reserve the bean water. Use the same number of potatoes as beans. Cook the diced potatoes and onion in a little water until tender. Make a roux with the bean broth and season with salt, pepper, and vinegar (about 2 tablespoons) to taste. Add the beans, drained potatoes, and onions, simmer briefly, and season again.
