Grandma Snel's Potato Salad image

My Grandma Sneltjes made this potato salad all summer long at the cabin. The secret to its goodness is the dressing you make yourself! This is a big enough recipe to feed a crowd!

3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon dry mustard

3/4 cup water
3/4 cup vinegar, tarragon flavored if possible
3 eggs, beaten fluffy
