SAVORY HOT POTATO SALAD

3 lb medium potatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup sliced radishes
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
9 bacon slices, finely cut up
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar

Cook unpeeled potatoes, covered, in boiling water just until tender--about 30 minutes. Drain potatoes; cool; peel, cut into cubes. Toss lightly with salt, pepper, onion, radishes, celery seed, and parsley. Saute bacon in skillet, over low heat, until crisp; remove from heat. With slotted spoon, remove bacon; add to potatoes. Drain from skillet all except 1 tablespoon bacon fat. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add vinegar and 1/2 cup water. Stir in sugar; bring to boiling point, stirring. In serving bowl, toss lightly with potato mixture until combined. Serve warm.
