I've always put myself in the creamy potato salad group.  Don't spare the mayonnaise but last week when we were visiting Brian's Mom she made a German  Potato Salad - delicious served warm or cold. This recipe is her sister Alkie's recipe

​

Ingredients
2 Cups cold boiled potatoes (about four or five potatoes)
2 Tbsp bacon grease
1/4 Cup Cider Vinegar
3/4 Cup Water
1 Tbsp Flour
2 Tbsp Sugar
1 Onion chopped
salt to taste

Cook onion in grease until tender.  Add flour and stir well.  Add sugar, vinegar and water and cook until thick.  Stir in sliced potatoes and bake in moderate oven until cooked through.

​The recipe we had last week was similar but included bacon bits.  Four slices of bacon crumbled is a great addition.
