7 each red potatoes

Cook potatoes and chill. When cold, dice potatoes. Cook bacon until it is limp, not crisp, and chop. Cook onion in bacon grease until tender, but not brown. Stir in corn starch, sugar, water, and vinegar. Add potatoes and bacon. Toss gently. Cover and let heat slightly. Remove from heat. Let salad stand before serving.
