How to Make Grandma Drew's Potato Salad Dressing

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup water, 1/4 cup white vinegar, and 1 large egg until light and frothy.
  3. Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients in the saucepan.
  4. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens to the consistency of mayonnaise (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely before refrigerating. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
