ingredients

4 -5 medium potatoes
1 small onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
2 medium lemons
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 ¹⁄₂ cups milk
1 tablespoon mustard
¹⁄₄ lb bacon

directions

Peel and cut potatoes into cubes, as you would for mashed potatoes.
Boil until tender, able to crush with a fork.
Set aside potatoes, don't drain yet.
Cut lemons in half and ream juice removing seeds.
Pour juice into 2 cup measuring cup.
Add cornstarch, sugar, egg, milk and mustard.
Pour into a sauce pan and stir over medium heat. Don't allow mixture to boil. The goal is a smooth liquid that will thicken as you continue to stir mixture.
As mixture is thickening, fry the bacon as you would for breakfast. When done remove and cut into 1 inch or so strips.
Sauté onions and celery till tender.
Drain potatoes and pour into a large bowl. Add bacon and pour in the thicken sauce. Mix to completely covered.
This works well with ribs, chicken or ham. Enjoy.
