German Potato Salad

Boil & Slice when COOL:
1 Kettleful of Potatoes

Frying Pan:
1 Package Bacon
2 Onions
1/2 Cup Celery
1/2 Cup Flour
3 Cups Water
1 1/4 Cup Vinegar
Sugar & Pepper to taste
Frying Pan & Crock Pot

Crock Pot:
Cooled/Sliced Potatoes and adding ingredients as finished
Add 4 Diced Hard Boiled Eggs

Peal & Boil Potatoes (stick a ford though potato to see if it goes through easily - about 8-10 minutes)

Set aside and let potatoes cool

Cut Bacon into 1/2 inch peices and fry with onions and celery (the key is not to fry bacon too dark - this will determine the color and taste of the salad. Too burnt or dark will give you that color and taste, just the right color will make the taste more flavorful and good color)

While bacon is finishing up slice potatoes (do not slice too thick). Add to crock pot.

Remove the finished bacon and stir in flour into bacon grease. Turn the heat up to high and add vinegar & water to thicken. Add Sugar to Taste (about 1 Tablespoon) and Pepper to taste (1/2 teaspoon)

Add the bacon/vinegar mixuture to crock pot with potatoes. Make sure diced eggs are init, and leave crock pot on high for about 2 hours - then switch to low until you serve.
