Ingredients

  • 6 potatoes

  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder

  • 1 teaspoon water

  • 4 slices bacon

  • ¼ cup chopped onion

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup water

  • ½ cup cider vinegar

  • 1 cup diced celery, divided

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool.

  2. Mix dry mustard with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and let stand 10 minutes to develop flavor.

  3. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. Reserve bacon drippings in skillet. Let bacon cool; crumble bacon.

  4. Cook onion in reserved bacon drippings over medium heat until onion is translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Stir mustard paste, sugar, 1/4 cup water, and cider vinegar into onion; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer vinegar dressing for 2 minutes.

  5. Peel potatoes if desired; slice 3 potatoes into a salad bow and arrange into a layer. Sprinkle potatoes with half the crumbled bacon, celery, and parsley; season with salt and black pepper. Pour a little of the vinegar dressing over the layer. Repeat layer with remaining 3 potatoes, bacon, celery, parsley, salt, and black pepper; pour remaining dressing over the salad. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Cook's Note:

Use sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda(R) in place of sugar if desired.

Lamb Rogan Josh

Lamb Rogan Josh

Rogan josh is my favorite Indian curry, and this recipe makes it easy to enjoy at home. The lamb falls apart in a rich tomato sauce that's flavored with dry-roasted spices. Serve with basmati rice and naan to soak up every bit of the delicious sauce!

Grilled Honey-Nectarine Ricotta Toast

Grilled Honey-Nectarine Ricotta Toast

This sweet and creamy ricotta toast makes the perfect brunch or mid-day snack. Grilling the fruit adds a lovely caramelized flavor, topped with the sweetness from the honey, crunch from the almonds and brightness from the hint of fresh mint. Use a thick-cut crusty bread like sourdough so it can stand up to the toppings.

Iced Mochas

Iced Mochas

All of my friends rave about these frosty drinks. I pour my leftover coffee in ice cube trays and keep them on hand all the time. You can make fun squiggly designs on insides of glasses with chocolate syrup, before pouring mochas. Top with whipped cream.

Crispy Crab Rangoon

Crispy Crab Rangoon

Everyone will love these bite-sized crab rangoon, fried to crispy perfection. Just place the crab filling onto square wonton wrappers, fold them into triangles, pull up the other edges to seal, and fry them until golden brown. To make these in advance, freeze them on trays, then fry them from frozen just before your party.
