Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 medium potatoes
4 slices bacon
1 1/2 cups hot water
1/2 medium onion -- diced
2 1/2 tablespoons flour
8 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
salt, to taste
celery seed, couple dashes


Boil potatoes in their jackets until just tender.

While the potatoes are cooking, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove all but a couple of tablespoons of the bacon fat, drain the bacon well, crumble and set aside.

Heat the bacon fat, add the diced onions and cook until tender, but not brown. Stir in the flour and cook slowly for a couple of minutes. Mix the vinegar, dry mustard and sugar in the hot water and add to the flour mixture ; cook until thickened, then add the salt, pepper and celery seed . Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Add crumbled bacon.

Drain the potatoes and, when cool enough to handle, peel them and slice into 1/4-inch slices. Slowly pour the warm dressing over the potatoes and toss gently to coat.
