Good morning..........

I fell asleep watching TV last night, around 9:30pm, kind of early for me, so I awoke around 4:15 am.
I figured I might as well get up, so I went to the kitchen to put the finishing touches on my German Potato Salad that I am taking to a party today.  I have been hungry for German Potato Salad for a while now, so lacking any other ideas for a covered dish, I decided that was what I'd make.  Hence, I decided to put the recipe on here.

German Potato Salad
8-10 medium potatoes
1/2 # bacon, diced in small pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup veg. oil
2 Tbsp. cornstarch + 1/4 cup water
salt & pepper to taste

You can cook your potatoes however you want, but I prefer to bake mine.  I let them cool, peel and cut them in half, then slice them.  Place them in a larger bowl. 
While the potatoes are cooking, you can make them the dressing.   Put the bacon in a large deep skillet and cook over medium heat until about half cooked.  Stir in the onion and cook until bacon is browned and onion is soft.  Stir in vinegar, sugar, water and veg. oil, bring to a boil.  Stir and cook until sugar is completely dissolved.  Combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup water, stir into bacon mixture.  Stir and cook until it is clear and thickened.  Pour over sliced potatoes, stir together.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Place in a 3 qt. baking dish and bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until heated through.  Or you can put it in a slow cooker on low for 2-3 hours.  If you want to let this simmer in a slow cooker for a longer time period, only partially cook your potatoes, so they don't get mushy while in the slow cooker
