I like to dedicate this recipe to my Grandmother. Kind of fitting since it is hers.

German Potato Salad

Serves 4

You'll need:
2 1/2 lbs Red potatoes
1/2 lb chopped/cubed bacon
1/2 white onion diced
Celery Salt
1 Tbsp Flour
1 Cup White Vinegar
1 Cup Sugar


Boil whole potatoes in their skins in salted water for about 30 minutes. Rinse in cold water. Drain and peel
In a casserole dish put a layer of thinly sliced potatoes and some celery salt over potatoes. Continue layering potatoes and celery salt until all the potatoes are used.
Cook 1/2 lb of chopped/cubed bacon until done. Drain bacon on paper towels. Set aside.
To the bacon grease, add 1 Tbsp flour stirring constantly for a few minutes to make a roux.
Combine the white vinegar and sugar. Add to the bacon grease roux. Whisk to combine. Add diced onions and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add a little water if the sauce becomes to thick.
Pour sauce over potatoes.
Sprinkle cubed/chopped bacon over the potatoes. This dish can be served hot or cold.

I love German Potato salad, hot or cold.

It is really good either way. I was always able to get her to make this whenever I came over as a kid. She would serve it cold in the summer.

While it's still fresh on my mind, we went to the Country Buffet restaurant today for lunch, and I was really disappointed.

The seasoning seemed off on everything there.

Pretty sad shelling out $40 for lunch and the chocolate milk was the only thing I enjoyed.

[Nektu]

Not to burst your bubble, but you did go to the Country Buffet. It's kind of expected at places like that. I remember when Sizzler made everyone sick because of cross contamination with cantaloupe.

[infernalis]

yeah I know, would have spent less at pizza hut lunch buffet and would have liked it better.

Your post made me so hungry that I had to make a pizza. Garlic cream sauce base with red onion, sauteed spinach, grilled chicken, diced Roma tomatoes, mozz and Parmesan.
