Grandma Garland's Potato Salad

Dressing:
1 C Vinegar
1 C water
1 C sugar
2 Tbs flour
1 tsp salt
1 egg well beaten

Put above in a pan and bring to a boil. Do not overcook as it will separate.
When it is thick, stir in
1 Tbs butter
1 really good squirt of yellow mustard

Separately, peel 5 pounds of potatoes and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes, approximately.
Boil until they are cooked through. You can tell when you stick a fork in them.

Drain cooked potatoes and put in a bowl.
Add (all optional to suit your taste)
1 C chopped celery
1 C sliced radishes
1 sm chopped onion
1/2 C grated carrots
2 chopped hard boiled eggs (boil 15 minutes; remove shells and rinse; chop into large pieces, maybe eighths of each egg)
3 Tbs salad olives
3 rashers of crisp bacon crumbled

Add dressing and stir together.

Serve hot or chilled.

mmmmmmmmmm. Enjoy!
