Place bacon in a skillet and fry until almost crisp. Remove bacon from pan and add onion and celery, cook until tender and transparent, remove from pan.
Drain off all but one tablespoon of bacon fat; add flour, sugar, salt and pepper to skillet stir until slightly browned. Add vinegar and water and cook until mixture is slightly thickened. Add back the bacon, onion, and celery.

    I loved this! I kept the skins on the potatoes and used 1/4 cup white and cider vinegar. I have friends visiting Germany and so I made them a meal that I used to eat when living there and they loved this! - 6/8/09

  • I didn't have bacon, so I used some left over ham, then added 2 Tablespoons butter for the grease needed. Also sprinkled artificial bacon bits on top - YUMMY! - 2/21/11

  • This is awesome - so much better than traditional potato salad. Made it as part of an Oktoberfest meal and everyone raved about it! - 10/24/10

  • Made a wonderful addition to our Fourth of July spread, and wasn't nearly as heavy as a mayo-based salad! - 7/4/10
