This is my Grandfather's recipe which was brought over from Germany by his parents in the late 1800's. Gran-daddy made this salad every time he visited. Note that the calories are pretty low for a potato salad. It doesn't have mayo in it
Place the potatoes into a pot, and fill with enough cold water to cover. Always start potatoes in cold water
Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, and set aside to cool.
Fry the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry until browned and crispy.
Remove bacon from the pan and reserve.
Add chopped white onion to the hot bacon grease, and cook over medium heat until browned.
Add the vinegar, water, sugar, salt and pepper to a measuring cup, mix and taste. Adjust seasoning, water or vinegar,
Add the liquid to the pan with the bacon grease slowly, not to splatter.
Bring to a boil, stirring
then pour over the potatoes in a large bowl and add parsley.
Crumble in half of the bacon. Stir thoroughly, then transfer to a serving dish.
Crumble the remaining bacon and sliced scallions over the top, sprinkle with celery seeds or celery salt and serve warm.
