Hot German Potato Salad

Dad was telling me a while ago that he remembers potato salad that wasn't yellow or cold.  I found this recipe online and asked him if it sounded right.  I'm going to give it a whirl tonight along with some burgers on the grill and some of those leftover settlers' beans. 

Btw, I'm not sure the settlers' beans are something I'll make again.  Neither of us were all that crazy about them but you never know about a new recipe until you try. :)

9 potatoes, peeled
6 slices bacon
3/4 C chopped onions
2 T flour
2 T sugar
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/8 tsp pepper
3/4 C water
1/3 C distilled white vinegar

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.  Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 30 minutes.  Drain, cool and slice thin.

Cook bacon, drain, crumble and set aside, reserve drippings.

Saute onions until they are golden brown.

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, celery seed, and pepper.  Add to the sauteed onions and cook and stir until bubbly, then remove from heat.  Stir in water and vinegar, return to the stove and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.  Boil and stir for one minute.  Carefully stir bacon and sliced potatoes into the vinegar/water mixture, stirring gently until pototoes are heated through.
