KAY DEE'S RECIPE FOR POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and onion into a bowl, and stir in eggs, salt, and flour as needed to make the mixture hold together. With wet hands, scoop up about 1/3 cup of the mixture per patty, and form into flat round or oval shapes.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, and gently place the patties into the hot oil. Fry until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes, then flip with a spatula and fry the other side until golden.
• Line a colander or strainer with 2 paper towels, and drain the cooked latkes in the colander. Serve hot.

PERFECT POTLUCK POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Add sliced potatoes to a large saucepan. Cover with cold water, about an inch above the tops of the potatoes. Bring to a boil over MED-HIGH heat. Covering the pan helps this happen faster, but pay attention that it doesn't boil over!!
• Once boiling, add 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt and stir. Boil, for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Watch out for the foam on top of the water, it can boil over if you're not careful. Adjust the heat so that the potatoes are still boiling, but not so hot that they're roaring.
• Drain potatoes in a colander, then return potatoes to the same hot pot you boiled them in. Add vinegar and stir to combine. Let sit a minute or two, then return to the colander to cool slightly.
• While potatoes are cooling, add dressing ingredients plus remaining 1 tsp kosher salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
• Chop eggs, red onion, celery and pickles. Add cooked potatoes to the dressing in the mixing bowl and top with chopped eggs, onion, celery, pickles and crumbled bacon.
• Gently stir it all together, until well combined. Cover tightly and refrigerate until cold, at least 3-4 hours.

MAMA'S OLD FASHIONED POTATO SALAD - DEE DEE'S

Steps:

• 1. Peel potatoes and cut into 1 inch cubes; place in a 5 quart pot, cover with water (I add some salt to water); boil for approximately 7 to 8 minutes (time may vary so check for firmness around 5 to 6 minutes, don't over cook and don't under cook, you don't want mashed potato salad and you don't want under cooked potatoes; drain and rinse in cold water; drain well.
• 2. While potatoes are draining and cooling off; combine chopped onion and eggs; set aside.
• 3. In a separate bowl, combine pickles, celery, salt and pepper, mustard and mayonnaise.
• 4. Once potatoes are cooled; add chopped onion and eggs; fold together gently; add mayonnaise mixture and combine gently with other ingredients; if salad seems like you don't need all the mayonnaise mixture; don't use it all, if salad seems to dry, add additional mayonnaise.
• 5. Garnish top with sliced boiled eggs and sprinkle with paprika if desired.
• 6. NOTE: This was an excellent choice for a side to go with https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/sweet-jalapeno-bourbon-ribs-dee-dees/pork and https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/sweet-cheese-biscuits-dee-dees/biscuits.

MR. DELL'S ORIGINAL POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine and pour into a 9X13 inch baking dish, then add 5 cups of the shredded hash brown potatoes, no need to thaw.
• In a separate bowl, mix soup (in a pinch, I've used cream of celery and cream of mushroom and it turned out fine), sour cream, milk, and green onions, then pour 1/2 of this mixture over the hash browns. Spread the mixture around over the hashbrowns evenly using a spatula. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Sprinkle one cup grated cheese on top.
• Add the remainder of the hash brown potatoes and pour the remaining soup mixture on top, again, spread out evenly using a spatula. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
• Bake for 55 minutes.
• **If at the end of the 55 minutes baking time the top hasn't browned to your liking, set the oven to broil and it will quickly brown the top of the cheese to a crispy golden brown.
• When done, let set up for 5-10 minutes before cutting into servings.

DEE'S POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil cubed potatoes until tender. Drain and let cool. When cool, place in a large bowl. Add the chopped onion and dill pickle relish to the potatoes.
• Separate the boiled eggs yolks from the white. Chop up the egg whites and place in with the potatoes. Place the boiled egg yolks in a medium size bowl and mash them with a fork until fine.
• Add the cup of mayo to the bowl with the egg yolks. Next, add the ranch dressing powder to the bowl. I recommend a small hand mixer or a small hand blender to mix the powder, mayo and egg yolks. If it is too thick, I add a little dill pickle juice. Mix until creamy. Add to the large bowl of potatoes, onions, and dill pickle relish and mix well.
• Place in a covered dish and put in the fridge. Serve when chilled.
