Gingerbread says :

Maybe this is Pennsylvania Dutch, but not German. Omit the bacon and flour routine, reduce the vinegar to 1/2 (using cider vinegar), cut the sugar to a 1/4 teaspoon, and you would come close to warm German potato salad. Germans do not put flour into their potato salad; it has already enough starch on its own.
