Authentic German Potato Salad

👨‍🍳 Instructions:
Boil the potatoes: Place whole potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and boil until fork-tender (about 25–30 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly, then peel and slice into ¼-inch rounds.

Cook the bacon: In a large skillet, fry bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble. Leave about 4 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan.

Sauté the onion: Add chopped onion to the bacon fat and cook until soft and translucent.

Make the dressing: Stir in flour, sugar, salt, celery seed, and pepper. Slowly add vinegar and water, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened (about 2 minutes).

Combine: Add sliced potatoes and crumbled bacon to the skillet. Stir gently to coat everything in the warm dressing.

Finish: Heat through for 5 minutes, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
