Yet Another German Hot Potato Salad
6 slices bacon
2 T cornstarch
1/4 c water
1 c chopped onion
3/4 c diced celery
2 t salt
1 t granulated sugar
1/8 t freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c cider vinegar
6 c red-skinned potatoes, cooked
Fry the bacon in a large, heavy skillet until crisp. Remove the bacon, drain on paper towels, then crumble; reserve the bacon fat.
Dissolve the cornstarch in the water. Saute the onion and celery in the reserved bacon fat over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
Add the salt, sugar, pepper, and dissolved cornstarch to the skillet. Next add the vinegar and bring to a boil over medium heat for three minutes.
Add the hot potatoes and crumbled bacon, stirring gently. Serve hot.
