It is so disgustly hot here, over 90*. I have a roast in the crockpot with onions, celery and tomatoes from my garden. In about an hour I will add carrots, potatoes, peppers. Last I add thick noodles all in a rich onion gravy thickened at the very end with a touch of cornstarch. Salad on the side and strawberries over vanilla ice cream for dessert. I love to cook.Everyones dinner sounds great.
I make a real nice potato salad but would anyone like to trade potato salad recipes? Here is mine. I have been told it's excellent.
Potato Salad
Boil about 10 medium to large potatoes until tender. Let cool and peel.
I add 3 hard boiled eggs, peppers, green or red, which ever you prefer, one large onion, and 3 stalks of celery all cut into small pieces to the cooked, peeled and diced potatoes in a large bowl.
Next I mix in a separate small bowl the following.
Mayo, not Miracle Whip. I am not sure how much because I don't measure, I would say it's about 2 cups. Almost an entire new container of Mayo.
2 Tablespoons of Gray Poupon. I have tried different mustard's over the years but only the Poupon gives it the correct flavor.
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Paprika about 5 shakes from container.
Garlic powder to taste, about 8 shakes from the container.
5 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Different oils will give it different flavors. I always use Olive Oil now a days.
4 Tablespoons of white vinegar. Please only use white.
Use a wire whisk to mix it all together, then pour your sauce over the potatoes. Stir and taste. Add more ingredients if necessary. Sometimes it needs more vinegar and oil. Sometimes I need to add a little more mayo. This salad is even better the second day. If you are only making the salad for one person, cut the recipe in half
