How To Make german potato salad

  Wash potatoes. Place in large pot cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Do no over cook. Cool and peel. Slice into chucks.

  Add remaining bacon fat to frying pan, add flour and stir at a low heat until lightly browned. Add water slowly, and stir until smooth. Add vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove 1 - 2 cups of the sauce and reserve until later. Add sautéed onions, potatoes, and bacon.

  Keep warm in an oven on a low temperature until ready to serve. DO NOT OVERMIX or the potatoes will get mushy. If you find that the potatoes have absorbed most of the liquid, add some of the reserved sauce. I like this to be a little "liquidy". If you like this a little more tart, add some vinegar to taste. The same goes if you want it a little sweeter...add more sugar.
