German Potato Salad Recipe

This hot german potato salad recipe has been a favorite of mine for a long time. The combination of flavors - sweet, sour and tangy - is unique and delicious. I modified the original recipe to make it a healthier choice (although anything with "bacon fat" as one of the ingredients can't really be called a healthy meal! Don't eat this one every day!) We like to eat this as a side dish with sausages.

4 medium potatoes

3 slices bacon

1 Tbsp/15 mL oil

1/2 cup/125 mL chopped onion

1 Tbsp/15 mL flour

1 Tbsp/15 mL sugar

1 tsp/5 mL salt

1/2 tsp/2 mL celery seed

dash pepper

1/2 cup/125 mL water

1/4 cup/60 mL cider vinegar

Boil the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. Drain them and set them aside until they are just cool enough to handle.
Fry the bacon until crisp. Put it on a paper towel to drain.
In a separate skillet, heat the oil and 1 Tbsp/15 of the bacon fat. Add the onion. Cook and stir until the onion is tender.
Add the flour, sugar, salt, celery seed and pepper. Cook over low heat for a minute, stirring.
Stir in the water and cider vinegar. Heat to boiling, stirring.
Turn the heat to low. Crumble the bacon into the mixture, and slice in the potatoes.
Cook, stirring gently to coat the potatoes, until everything is hot.
