A friend made this for an Octoberfest party a long time ago, and I usually break out this recipe every Fall when I get a craving for it again. I usually make it in really large batches, (sometimes 20lbs of potatoes) when I cook for large groups. It always gets lots of attention!


 * Ingredients**
 * 6 potatoes
 * 6 slices bacon
 * 4 green onions (or 1 white onion) diced
 * 2 Tbsp flour
 * 2 Tbsp sugar
 * 2 tsp salt
 * 1 tsp pepper
 * 3/4 cup water
 * 1/3 cup vinegar

Assembly:
 * 1) Peel, then boil potatoes until tender. Allow to cool, then dice them.
 * 2) Fry the bacon, draining and reserving the grease. As the bacon dries, dice it into bits.
 * 3) Brown the onion in a few tablespoons of bacon grease.
 * 4) Blend in flour, sugar, salt, pepper.
 * 5) Slowly add water and vinegar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute.
 * 6) Stir in the potatoes and bacon; cover and heat through.
 * 7) Serve hot!

When making this for a large group, I did the potatoes and bacon first and stirred them together in a roaster. Then I made the sauce in large batches and poured it over the potatoes & bacon, mixing it well.
