German Potato Salad
October is traditionally the month Rod and I are assigned our Dinner Club rotation. It’s typically cool enough to eat outside on the porch, so we try to plan casual menus. For an Oktoberfest theme one year, we featured this recipe.
4 C sliced, boiled potatoes
4 slices bacon, cut into small slices
1 onion, diced
1 T flour
1 T sugar
1 t salt
1 t paprika
½ C cider vinegar
½ C water
- Brown bacon and drain. Crumble bacon and sprinkle over the potatoes. Add onion to the hot bacon fat and cook only a few minutes to avoid burning. Add the flour to the bacon fat and onions; blend. Add sugar, salt, paprika, vinegar, and water. Cook until clear, stirring constantly.
- Pour the mixture over the potatoes and bacon. Mix well. Serve hot or cold.
