Grandmother's German Potato Salad

Ingredient
4 cups potatoes, cooked, sliced round
10 slices bacon, fried crisp, drippings reserved

1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup water
3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced thin, or grate with a hand grater
1 teaspoon celery seed, Optional

Method
1. Cook unpeeled potatoes until tender. Drain and cool, then peel and cut in 1/4" slices.

2. Cook bacon in skillet until crisp. Remove and place on a paper towel. Add chopped onion to bacon drippings and cook until tender but not brown. Blend in flour, sugar, salt and pepper.

3. Gradually stir in water. Cook and stir until thickened. Pour mixture over cook (but not cold) potatoes. Add relish and mix lightly. Add crumbled bacon and celery seed. Sprinkle top with chopped parsley and slices of hard-boiled eggs.
