Kili and I had the same feelings about potato salad and very similar family
recipes. Her recipe for hot German potato salad:

2 quarts red potatoes ; peeled
9 slices fried bacon
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup bacon drippings
2 Tbl. sugar
2 Tbl. flour
2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1 cup water
2/3 cup white or cider vinegar

-= Instructions =-
1. Boil potatoes, then slice when done and cooled. Set aside or put into a
bowl.
2. Take the chopped onion and cook over low direct heat using the bacon
drippings.
3. Mix sugar, flour, salt, pepper and celery seed together. Blend into
onion saute'.
4. When onions are wilted, pour in the water and vinegar. Stir mixture
until it boils for about 1 minute.
5. Pour onion and vinegar "dressing" over sliced potatoes. Crumble the
bacon slices over potatoes. Lightly fold everything in together.
6. Garnish with bacon, egg and/or parsley.
