GERMAN POTATOES

6 strips bacon
2 onions, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
boiled new potatoes, enough for 6
2 Tbls. flour
1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
3/4 cup water
dill weed, 2 Tbls fresh or 1 Tbls. dried

( Note: use small, whole, unpeeled new potatoes if possible. If not available, peel and cube the large potatoes.)
Slice bacon into 1/2 in. pieces, fry until brown, drain and reserve. In bacon grease, fry onions until golden, add celery and green pepper and cook gently until tender-crisp. Stir in flour; then sugar; salt and pepper. Slowly stir in vinegar and water; continue stirring until thickened. Add dill weed and pour this sauce on the hot, boiled potatoes. Mix gently and sprinkle reserves bacon on top.

This was given to me some years ago by a co-worker she was a full blooded German.
