Oma Leni's Kartoffelsalat

Potato Salad

5 – 6 medium size potatoes
4 cucumbers
salt
4 oz bacon fat
¾ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp sugar
salt/pepper

.
Boil the potatoes with the skin on until they are tender. Set aside. Peel the cucumbers and slice them into thin slices preferable with a vegetable slicer. Put some salt on them and let them stand for a little bit. Cut the bacon fat into small cubes and fry them in their own fat until crispy. Peel the cooked potatoes while they are still warm. Slice them into thin slices and put them in a big bowl. Now squeeze the cucumbers so that the cucumber water is left. Put the drained cucumber slices into the bowl with the potatoes. Add the bacon cubes. Now mix the mayonnaise, a little bit of the cucumber water, lemon juice, sugar and salt/pepper until you like the mixture. Usually it shouldn't taste like mayonnaise anymore. Add the dressing to the cucumbers and potatoes. Mix everything really well but be careful not to smash the potatoes. Try to leave them in slices. Serve warm with steak, meatballs, or Bockwurst.

My grandma Leni made this potato salad every time I was at her house. I miss you grandma.
