Microwave German Potato Salad has big flavor for a quick salad. The first time I tried this easy side dish I was impressed and had to have the recipe, recalls Barbara Erdmann of West Allis, Wisconsin. That's what happens to most people who taste it. It's a time-saver when I need a salad for a summer get-together. Ingredients:
2 pounds red potatoes, cooked and sliced |
3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/2 cup chopped celery |
6 bacon strips, diced |
2 tablespoons sugar |
4 teaspoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
3/4 cup milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, eggs, onion and celery; set aside. Place bacon in a microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave 2-3 minutes longer or until the bacon is crisp, stirring after each minute.
2. Remove bacon to paper towel to drain; reserve 2 tablespoons drippings. Stir the sugar, flour, vinegar, salt and pepper into drippings until smooth; gradually add milk.
3. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes until thickened. Pour over potato mixture; toss. Top with bacon. Yield: 8 servings.
