German Potato Salad
["5 lb. red potatoes", "2 onions, diced", "3 pieces celery, diced fine", "1 green pepper, diced small", "4 hard-boiled eggs (2 in salad; 2 for garnish)", "celery seed to taste", "salt and pepper to taste", "8 slices bacon, diced and fried", "2/3 c. sugar (to taste)", "1 1/4 c. cider vinegar", "1 c. water", "flour and water to make a thickening as you would for gravy *"]
["Cook potatoes until done.", "After potatoes are cool, slice them, not too thin.", "Add diced onions, celery, green pepper, eggs, salt, pepper and celery seed.", "Fry bacon until crisp; pour bacon and grease ** over the potatoes.", "Add vinegar, water and sugar to the skillet you just took bacon out of.", "When this comes to a boil, add flour and water* to the mixture just as you would for gravy.", "This will make the mixture just a little thicker so it will adhere to the potatoes.", "Pour over potatoes and toss well. Let potato salad stand for about 2 hours.", "Taste; it more than likely will have absorbed enough of the mixture that it is not as tart as you would like it.", "Again just heat a little vinegar (use your own judgment) water and sugar and pour over the potatoes again until your taste is satisfied."]
