Mom's Hot German Potato Salad

Ingredients

• 4 cup hot potatoes, diced bite-size
• 7 slice 6-8 slices fried bacon, crumbled
• 2 tbsp bacon drippings
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp flour
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 1½ tsp salt
• ⅓ cup vinegar
• ⅔ cup water
• ½ cup celery, chopped
• 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
• 6 frankfurters, cooked and chopped
• ¼ tsp pepper

Method

1. Combine the potatoes and crumbled bacon; set aside. Fry the onion in the bacon drippings until light brown; add the flour and blend.
2. Add the sugar, salt, vinegar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Mix in the celery, parsley and frankfurters.
