1/2   cup finely chopped onions 
1/4   cup chopped celery 
1   tablespoon flour 
1/4 cup hot   water 
1/2 cup heavy cream 
2 tablespoon Boiled Dressing

4 cups   diced, hot, boiled potatoes 
1   tablespoon finely chopped parsley 
1 teaspoon finely chopped   chives
Additional heavy cream (optional)

Cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove and crumble. Drain   off all fat except 1 tablespoon, return to medium heat, add onions and celery.   Stir in flour to coat the vegetables. Add water, stir and cook till thickened.   Remove from the heat and blend in the cream, boiled dressing, vinegar, salt, and   pepper. Pour over the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the parsley and chives. Mix   well to blend flavors. Add more cream if desired, taste, add salt if desired.   Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top and garnish with the sliced hard-boiled   eggs.
Boiled Dressing:
1/2 cup granulated sugar 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1 teaspoon dry mustard 
1/2 cup vinegar 
2 eggs, well beaten 
1 tablespoon butter
Combine   sugar, salt, and mustard in the top of a double boiler. Add vinegar. Stir to   combine. Add well-beaten eggs. Place over moderately boiling water. Stir until   the mixture is creamy about the consistency of custard. Beat in the butter.   Cool. This dressing may be stored, covered, in the refrigerator, and will keep   up to two weeks.
