Recipe: Grandma's German Potato Salad

Misc.
ADVERTISEMENT
This is my Grandma's recipe for German potato salad (the sauce is also good on green beans) and has been in our family for generations.

3 lbs. red potatoes, cooked whole, peeled and sliced
1/2 lb. bacon, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 tb. cornstarch

Slice the potatoes while still warm and salt and pepper.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until browned. Drain off bacon fat and add onion. Saute onion until translucent. Mix vinegar, sugr and water together. Stir in cornstarch. Add to skillet and cook until clear. Pour over potatoes and stir gently.

If you want to use flour as a thickener, add 2 tb. flour after the onions are cooked and omit cornstarch.

I like this potato salad fresh. My dad liked it the next day, after the flavors had blended.
