Saute the bacon or salt pork slowly until lightly browned. Add and saute the onion, celery, green pepper until golden brown. Add the potatoes, water, salt, paprika and bay leaf and simmer. When the potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes, combine the flour and 1/2 cup milk until blended and bring to the boiling point; add to the rest of the mixture in the pot. Heat about 5 minutes and add the 1 1/2 cups hot milk and the corn. Reheat but do not boil. Serve sprinkled with parsley.
