6 Slices Bacon, Save Drippings 1/2 Teaspoon Celery Seed
3/4 Cup Onion, Chopped Dash Pepper
2 Tablespoons Flour 3/4 Cup Water
1 To 2 Tablespoons Sugar 1/2 Cup Vinegar

Mix in flour, sugar, salt, celery seed, and pepper. Stir in water and vinegar gradually. Cook, stirring until mixture boils. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over potatoes. Add the bacon , broken into pieces (save some for garnish). Cover and let stand until ready to serve. Heat over hot water. Serve in large bowl garnished with bacon pieces, minced parsley or chives. Makes 6 servings.

Variation: Substitute Poppy Seeds for Celery Seed.

1948 Recipe - Jean Hansen - From Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook, 1950.

"Good hot or cold, a nice change from traditional potato salad and very tasty.  I've only had this made with poppy seed; celery seed would give it a complete different flavor." - Calla Ferre
