Steiger Dept. Store in Western Massachusetts was a landmark for almost a century. This salad was published in our local newspaper by Albert Steiger and he calculates it is at least 150 years old. I have not made this yet but will soon now that warm weather is around the bend.

- 6 slices bacon, fried and bacon fat reserved shopping list
- Sauce: shopping list
- 1/2 Cup bacon fat shopping list
- 2 Tbl. sugar shopping list
- 1 Cup vinegar shopping list
- lettuce shopping list
- paprika shopping list
How to make it
- Boil potatoes until fairly tender. Fry bacon. Save bacon fat. Crumble bacon.
- Mix bacon fat, sugar and vinegar in the fry pan used to fry bacon. Stir and bring to boil for a minute or two until ingredients are well blended.
- Place lettuce leaves on a platter. Set the hot potatoes on lettuce. Pour the hot sauce over the potatoes which will marinate in the sauce. Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top and shake paprika over all.
- The recipe suggests surrounding the platter with cucumber slices, tomatoe slices and thin slices of onions.
