Add the flour, sugar, water and vinegar to skillet and cook in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium heat until dressing is thick.

I don't think that I have ever had a potato salad that was served warm before, but this one looks like it would be really good. I would like to have this on the side of a pork chop or even with a bratwurst. The vinegar gives the sauce a bit of tanginess, without being loaded in fat and calories like a mayonnaise based salad.
