Smoked German Potato Salad

Smoked German Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 6 potatoes, smoked for 1 -2 hours
  • 1 large onion diced(or 3/4 cup)
  • 6 slices of bacon
  • 2 T flour
  • 1-2 T sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp celery seed
  • dash of pepper
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of white vinegar

Directions

  1. To smoke the potatoes: Think of the smoker as an oven. It should take about an hour or so to cook the whole potato. Poke several holes in each potato with a fork and set them on the grill � indirect heating set up (around 350 F). Once it's cooked, take it off the grill and let it cool.
  2. Cook the bacon in a pan on the stove. Make sure it�s crunchy, but not overdone. KEEP the grease.
  3. Cook the onions in the grease until they are transparent. Add 2 tablespoons of flour. Then add the sugar, salt, celery seed and pepper until it�s bubbly.
  4. Slowly add in the vinegar and water. Let the mixture boil for a minute, stirring it constantly,then turn it off. Now that the potatoes have cooled, take off the skin and slice them into about 1/2 inch round slices. Some may fall apart a little bit, and that�s ok � just put those on the bottom.
  5. Lay 1 layer down in your 9 x 13 casserole dish. Pour on some of the sauce, just enough to cover potatoes. Then layer some more potatoes. Keep going until you�re out of potatoes.
  6. Crumble the bacon on top of the whole thing.
