Patriotic Potato Salad
This
recipe is from The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook published in 1984.
We like this recipe for potato salad with the addition of fresh dill,
scallions, carrots and parsley.
Patriotic Potato Salad
14 small new red potatoes,
scrubbed clean
6 hard cooked eggs , peeled and halved
1 medium size carrot, peeled and grated
2 medium size scallions (if using green onions use white part and 2 inches
of the green) thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup Hellmann's Mayonnaise
Heat a medium saucepan
and bring it to a boil. Cook the potatoes 20-25 minutes until tender.
Drain, cool and cut in half.
Combine the eggs, potatoes, carrot and scallions in a large bowl. Add
the dill, parsley, caraway seeds, salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Mix the sour cream and mayonnaise and gently fold into potato mixture.
Refrigerate for several
hours or overnight before serving.
Cooking tip: When my friend makes this potato salad she adds the seasonings
into the sour cream and mayonnaise. She says it takes less tossing so
she is less apt to break up the potatoes and she says it distributes the
flavors better throughout the salad.

Cooking tips and techniques
These are a few cooking tips that we've discovered as we've prepared our different green bean recipes. Some you may know, and a few you may not know. We hope they're helpful to you. Garlic There is nothing as bitter as burned garlic. It can literally ruin a dish. When a recipe calls for cooking garlic in olive oil do so over a very low heat and carefully watch the dish.
Russian Green Beans in Sour Cream & Tomato Sauce
This is a recipe that we attribute to The Best Foods of Russia by Sonia Uvezian. It's a tasty and delightful green bean dish unlike any other we've had. It was our first attempt at Russian cuisine and a success! We used regular fat sour cream but you can certainly substitute light.
