GERMAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a pot simmer the potatoes until tender. In a pan cook the bacon until crisp and drain the fat. To the bacon add the onions and cook until transparent. Then add the flour, salt, sugar and pepper and blend well. Stir in the vinegar and water and cook for ten minutes. Take the potatoes and cut them into cubes and place in a serving dish. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and serve.

THE OTHER KIND OF GERMAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water; slice and keep warm.
• While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the marinade: combine vinegar, sugar, salt & pepper to taste, oil, and onion in a small bowl; stir until sugar dissolves (or you give up).
• Pour marinade over warm potatoes; stir to mix; allow to "work" for at least several hours (overnight is better) at room temperature.
• Just before serving, add mayonnaise, pickles and eggs.
• NOTE: My quilting friend pointed out that the pickles and eggs were strictly optional, and even the mayo wasn't "required.".
