German Hot Potato Salad
6 slices bacon
2 Tbl. cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup diced celery
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. granulated sugar
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup cider vinegar
6 cups 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 boil over medium heat for three minutes.
Add the hot potatoes and crumbled bacon, stirring gently. Serve hot.
