Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

6 medium white potatoes with skin
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
1 teaspoon celery seed
4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
2 eggs, beaten
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing

Steps:

Place the potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, and set aside to cool.
While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together 2 eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in the vinegar, milk, and mustard. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Refrigerate until cool, then stir in the mayonnaise.
Peel the potatoes if desired, and cut into medium dice. Place in a large bowl, and toss with the onion, celery, carrots, celery seed and hard-cooked eggs. Gently fold in the dressing. Refrigerate until serving. I personally like this to sit for at least a day before serving to let the flavors blend, but you may serve it as soon as it is chilled.

BASQUE STYLE POTATOES

Basque Style Potatoes image

Spicy potatoes. You can do these in the oven if you like, but I find the stovetop to be easier when I have a limited amount of time and/or energy. When I'm feeling especially lazy, I sub out a premixed creole seasoning for the seasonings. Always add the fresh garlic though.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 cup milk (approx)
salt
black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
1 small green sweet pepper, deseeded and cut into thin strips
1 large garlic clove, crushed
2 small tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 ounces pimento stuffed olives, sliced
1 strip orange rind
1 teaspoon dried basil or 1 tablespoon fresh basil
3/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

Steps:

Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, just cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and cook for 12-15 minutes until just tender.
Drain well then mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
Add the milk, season with salt and pepper and beat well. Cover and keep warm.
Heat the oil in large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, pepper and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes.
Mix in the tomatoes, olives, orange peel, basil and wine, blend well and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions and bell pepper are just tender.
Remove the orange peel and adjust the seasoning.
To serve - place the potatoes in a shallow serving bowl, spoon vegetables and juices over the top and garnish with parsley. Serve hot.

Tips:

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamy texture and a slightly sweet flavor.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch and help them hold their shape.
Add the potatoes to boiling water to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still slightly firm, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot over low heat. Add the butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder and stir to combine.
Serve the potatoes immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
