    This is my allstar recipe. When going to parties and picnics this is what I bring.

    5 lbs of new potatoes - either white or red small in size.

    3 lbs of bacon

    1 large sweet onion

    3 cloves of garlic

    1 clump of fresh dill

    dry yellow mustard

    honey and sugar

    Apple Cider vinegar

    Corn Starch

    Boil potatoes until tender in salted water, drain and cool in iced water to stop cooking. Once cool slice into quarters or slices - your preference.

    Brown bacon in a large skillet and set aside to brain bacon. Drain off all but one quarter cup of bacon fat.

    Add diced onions to bacon fat and saute until translucent.

    Add two tablespoons of corn starch and stir until absorbed into bacon fat.

    Add three cups of apple vinegar and three cups of sugar along with one half cup of honeyand four tablespoons of dry yellow mustard. Simmer slowly stirring up bacon bits from pan bottom until sauce thickens. Check for taste - you may prefer more sugar to make it less tart.

    Add sauce to potatoes along with chopped dill. Refridgerate overnight to let flavors marry together.

    Before serving: heat salad thoroughly to finish cooking potatoes, add cooked chopped bacon just prior to serving to keep it nice and crispy.

    This is adapted from my German Grandmother's recipe and has been cooked by me for better than twenty years. I like the dill although most Germans argue as to whether or not that is authentic. Enjoy.

    Oh, by the way, don't add three pounds of bacon, we cook three and use one and a half for BLT's when we make this. The smell of cooking bacon drives my family crazy and this is the only way I can make sure I have enough.
