German Potato Salad

1 . Stage

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes; cook until fork-tender, 8 to 15 minutes. Drain.

2 . Stage

While potatoes are cooking, cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving drippings in the skillet. Chop or crumble bacon when cool enough to handle.

3 . Stage

Add sugar and flour to drippings in the skillet, then pour in water and vinegar. Cook over medium heat, stirring any browned bits off the bottom with a wooden spoon, until dressing is thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off heat.

4 . Stage

Add potatoes, crumbled bacon, and green onions to the skillet; stir until coated. Season with salt and pepper.
