Dill Potato Salad featuring Apple Bits

According to the "What's in Season" widget on this page, potatoes are in season. This is why I have chosen to share this fabulous potato salad recipe with you this week. 


This recipe was given to my mother by her sister and it is my favorite potato salad that I have yet to taste. 


The recipe makes 10 pounds of potato salad, so it is great for parties and cook outs (and if you just love potato salad). However, if you are looking to make potato salad for a smaller amount of people, you can always cut the recipe in half.










You Will Need:




10 pound bag of potatoes               1 onion 








7 hard boiled eggs                           1 Apple 
(15 min)








24oz sour cream                30oz of mayo








salt and pepper to taste          fresh dill chopped or dill weed spice








How to Prepare:


Peel, dice, and boil potatoes until cooked, but not too soft or hard. Drain and let cool. 


Chop onion, apple, and eggs very small (pea size). 


Mix onion, eggs, apple, mayo, and sour cream. Mix in salt, pepper, and dill to taste. 


Fold potatoes into mixture a little at a time until all potatoes are mixed in. 


Cool in refrigerator. 


This is what 10lbs of potato salad looks like!






Tips:


We use dill weed from a spice bottle... and a lot of it.


We also use a Vidalia Chop Wizard to do all of our chopping.










Enjoy!

Lemon Butter Potatoes

This potato recipe came with the Publix Aprons Rosemary-Maple Pork Tenderloin recipe found by my mother. I posted the recipes separate for tagging purposes.


These potatoes are so simple and quick to make, yet so delicious! You won't believe the ease and resulting taste of this dish, yet both factors are sure to make it a family favorite.












You will need:


             Cooking Spray                                                   4tbs Unsalted Butter


















1 24oz Bag Dutch Baby Potatoes                                        Juice of 1 Lemon




                










2tbs Water                                                                      1tsp Everglades Seasoning




                          












How to Prepare:


Preheat oven to 450*


Cut potatoes in half and place them in a microwave safe bowl. Pour water on them, cover, and microwave on high for 7-8 minutes or until tender.


While waiting on the microwave, cut butter into small pieces and set aside. (If butter is soft, you can stir the seasoning into it.)


When potatoes are done in the microwave, squeeze juice of one lemon over the potatoes, stir in butter and seasoning.


Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.


Spread potatoes on baking sheet in a single layer.


Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden; stirring occasionally.







Tips:


You can use bottled lemon juice, but fresh lemon juice gives a better taste.




ENJOY!
