Thanks for the recipe.... I thought I didn't have one, but
when I saved yours "to file" - surprise, surprise!
Guess what I found?


GERMAN POTATO SALAD

8 slices bacon
3 tablespoons flour
4 teaspoons chopped onion
2/3 cup vinegar
2/3 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon powdered dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon crumbled whole rosemary leaves
2 quarts cooked diced potatoes
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Fry bacon until crisp. Remove from pan, drain and crumble.
Add flour and onion to the bacon fat left in the pan. Stir
in vinegar, water, sugar, salt and spices. Cook only until
mixture is of medium thickness. Add to potatoes, parsley and
crumbled bacon.

Mix carefully to prevent mashing the potatoes.

Serves 8 to 10.

I will change this recipe to note that the potatoes should
be hot and to serve the salad warm (like your recipe)....
I guess that was implicit in 1957.


Many thanks
