DRESSING

Potatoes: =========

Cook the potatoes in enough water to cover with the 2 tablespoons of vinegar added to the water. Cook until tender. The vinegar keeps the potatoes firm.

Place the cooked potatoes in a large pan (she used a fifteen inch round cake pan) and add the cooked bacon and drippings. Toss the potatoes and bacon together.

Add the rest of the ingredients: salt, pepper, and celery seed.

Add the onions and parsley. Dressing: ========= Whisk the eggs in a sauce pan. Add the mustard and whisk. Add the sugar and whisk. Add the cider vinegar and whisk.

Turn the heat up to get the mixture to a boil. When it begins to boil, reduce the heat and whisk and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.

Pour the dressing over the potatoes, toss, and cover with plastic wrap, stirring occasionally, for three hours while the potatoes absorb the sauce.
