German Potato Salad

6 medium boiled potatoes 2 tablespoons flour
2-3 stalks celery, chopped ¼ cup vinegar
1 green bell pepper, chopped ¼ cup water
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped ¼ cup sugar
4 slices bacon salt and pepper to taste
1 medium onion, chopped
bacon drippings

Peel and slice potatoes. Place in a large bowl. Add celery, green pepper and eggs and stir gently. Fry bacon until crisp: partially drain skillet (leave some of the bacon drippings in the skillet. Saute onion in the bacon drippings. Crumble bacon and stir into the onion. Add flour, vinegar, water, sugar, salt and pepper. Mix well. Cook until the mixture has thickened, stirring constantly (mixture scorches easily). Add more water if the mixture is too thick. It should be the consistency of thick syrup. Pour over the salad and stir gently.

This was one of my Grandpa Braun's favorites

About Me

Hi Folks! My name is Candy and I have been married to my best friend, my one true love, Steve, for 11 years now. We are a combined family with 7 grown kids and 14 grandbabies. Our children are all over the US; Illinois, Louisiana, Utah, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii. We are proudly owned and operated by an ever growing menagerie of animals: parrots, parakeets, cockatiels and cockatoos, dogs, cats, chickens, and 2 rabbits. We have a huge garden in the summer, planted fruit trees and grape vines last year, can food from the garden, sew, quilt and make our own soap. Needless to say, we live in the country, have an avid interest in homesteading and how to make it do-able on a small acreage plot of ground. We've had alot of successes, a couple of near misses and a couple of "really missed the target" in our venture and look forward to sharing them like-minded folks.
