How to Make Baked German Potato Salad

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Butter a 3-quart baking dish.
3. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving 1/4 cup bacon grease in the skillet.
4. Add chopped celery and onion to the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in salt and flour. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6. Gradually whisk in sugar, vinegar, pepper, and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. In the prepared baking dish, combine cooked bacon and cubed potatoes.
8. Pour the celery mixture evenly over the potatoes and bacon.
9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
10. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and heated through, and the top is lightly browned.
