Hot German potato salad:

4 lbs red potatoes
1 medium onion, diced
6 slices bacon
1/2 cup sugar
3 T flour
2 t salt
fresh ground pepper to taste
1 cup red cider vinegar
1 cup water

1. Boil potatoes until fork tender. Drain and cut into uniform size pieces about 1-inch. You can either leave the skins on or take them off. I leave about 3/4 of them on.

2. Fry the bacon until crisp in a large skillet. I use an electric skillet.

3. Saute the onion in the hot bacon grease for 3 min or so.

4. Mix together the sugar, flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add to onions, until the mixture is sticking to the onions and grease.

5. Add the vinegar and water. Stir to dissolve the sugar and flour. Bring to boiling. Cook, stirring frequently for about 2 minutes.

6. Add the potatoes and stir to coat evenly. Heat through. Turn off heat and cover with a kitchen towel. Allow to sit for 1-2 hours.

7. Just before serving, crumble the bacon over the top and stir.
