German Sweet & Sour Eggs Aka Suess-Sauer Eier

One of my favorite foods growing up.  This is a very acquired taste and some of you may not like the Sweet & Sour flavor.  Pour the sauce over some mashed potatoes and serve with boiled eggs. YUMMY!

3 tbsps canola oil
40 grams all-purpose flour
hot water (needed)
1 pinch salt (taste)
2 tbsps apple cider vinegar (taste)
2 tbsps granulated sugar (taste)
4-6 eggs (cooked)
2-3 potatoes (peeled sliced cooked) 
 
 
 
1Heat the oil in a skillet and have ready a cup or two of hot water.
2Whisk in the flour and cook until brown, stirring constantly--be careful not to burn the flour.
3Add a small amount of hot water to the pan, whisking well, to create a sauce-like consistency, adding and whisking as needed.
4Whisk together the vinegar and the sugar, then add as much or as little to the sauce as you like (taste and adjust if necessary).
5Cook eggs however you like them (pan fried, hard boiled, etc) and serve with the sauce and some potatoes, if desired.
