German Potato Salad
This is my Dad’s recipe. It’s delicious! Cook red potatoes until just tender. Fry about 1 /2 lb bacon, remove to a plate. Discard all but about 1/4 cup of the bacon drippings. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 chopped celery stalks to the bacon drippings and cook until transluscent. Add 2 tblsp flour to the onion and bacon fat. Cook for a minute. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan and stir until thickened, then add 1/4 to 1/2 c. sugar.  Season with salt and pepper. Stir until bubbly. Now the dressing should be terribly sweet, so add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup vinegar to balance the sweet, sour. “Make sure to season with salt and pepper, without salt you won’t be able to taste the sweet or the sour.” That’s what my Dad always says! Slice your potatoes, toss with the bacony dressing, top with fresh chopped parsley and crumbled cooked bacon, or, if you’re like me,  what’s left of it that you didn’t snack on. Enjoy!!
