2 lbs. red potatoes, cooked and sliced
3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped celery
6 bacon strips, diced
2 Tbsp. sugar
4 tsp. flour
2 Tbsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
3/4 c. milk

In a large bowl, combine potatoes, eggs, onion and celery; set aside. Place bacon in a microwave-safe bowl; cover with a paper towel and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir. Microwave 3-4 minutes longer or until the bacon is crisp, stirring after each minute. Remove bacon to paper towel to drain; reserve 2 Tbsp. drippings. Stir sugar, flour, vinegar, salt and pepper into drippings until smooth; gradually add milk. Microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes until thickened. Pour over potato mixture; toss. Top with bacon. Serve immediately.
