Ingredients
  • 2 pounds Maine boiling potatoes (Scrubbed but not peeled)

  • ½ Cup Minced celery (Including some leaves)
  • ½ Cup Cider vinegar
  • ½ Teaspoon Sugar
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Paprika

Instructions
  1. 1
    Cut the potatoes in half if they are large, put them in a pot and add enough lightly salted water to cover them by 2 inches.
  2. 2
    Bring to a boil, and boil gently, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, until just tender. Drain.

    In a skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat. Add scallions and celery, and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Mix with potato pieces.

    In the same skillet, mix 1/4 cup of water with cider vinegar, sugar, salt, paprika and dry mustard.

    Stirring with a whisk, bring to a boil and pour over salad. Crumble bacon over the top, and serve warm.
