HOT GERMAN POTATO SALAD III

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 30 minutes. Drain, cool and slice thin.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside, reserving drippings.
• Saute onions in bacon drippings until they are golden-brown.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, celery seed, and pepper. Add to the sauteed onions and cook and stir until bubbly, then remove from heat. Stir in water and vinegar, then return to the stove and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil and stir for one minute. Carefully stir bacon and sliced potatoes into the vinegar/water mixture, stirring gently until potatoes are heated through.

SCHNITZELBANK POT

Steps:

• You may remove as much or as little of the Camembert rind as you like, from all to none.
• Mash the Camembert, Limburger and Roquefort together with a silver spoon, adding the butter and flour. Place into an enamel-lined pan (metal pans will turn the cheese black) and heat gently.
• When cheese begins to melt, add cream and stir continuously until a smooth, creamy sauce forms. Strain through a sieve into a tight-lidded crock. Stir in olives and pimiento thoroughly. Sprinkle cayenne over the top, close the lid, and allow to ripen at least 3 days before serving, if not longer. Store in refrigerator no longer than 2 weeks. Serve at room temperature; remove from refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with rye or pumpernickel, or spread on crackers or celery sticks.

THE NASHVILLE HOUSE FRIED BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
• Stir in other ingredients, and enough flour to form a soft dough.
• Knead lightly for 5 or 6 minutes then form into a ball.
• Let dough rise till doubled, 40 - 60 minutes.
• Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
• Roll out to 1/2" thickness and cut with 1 1/2" biscuit cutter.
• Let biscuits rise for 15 - 20 minutes while frying oil/fat heats.
• Heat frying oil/fat to just over 350 degrees F.
• If fat is too hot, the biscuits will be soggy in the center.
• Drop biscuit into the hot fat, a few at a time.
• Fry for 1 or 2 minutes till golden on the bottom.
• Flip each biscuit over (if it doesn't flip by itself!) and fry until golden brown.
• Drain on absorbent paper.
• Cut a biscuit open to check for doneness, and adjust frying time if needed.
• Serve warm with lots of apple butter, to be authentic.
• These freeze well - just reheat wrapped in foil in a warm oven.
