My mom made this when I was a kid, particularly if we were having brats for dinner. It’s a sweet and sour hot salad that goes well with pork.

Instructions
- Place potatoes in large saucepan. Add enough salted water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes or until firmly tender. Drain. Let potatoes cool enough to slice.

- Cook the onion whites in the bacon drippings until tender.
- Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, flour, celery salt, and mustard, and then add to the bacon drippings and onions – cook on low heat until thickened.
