Best Miss Kittys Evolutionary Potato Salad By Florida Native Recipes

MISS KITTY'S EVOLUTIONARY POTATO SALAD (BY FLORIDA NATIVE)

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, rinse, slice and cube. Place in boiling pot of water with salt and pepper to your taste. Boil 10-15 minutes, or until just tender when pierced with a fork.
• Remove from heat, drain, and cool potatoes.
• Peel and rinse HB eggs. Quarter, then coarsely chop in chunks. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, add potatoes, celery, and eggs.
• Add mustard, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, chili powder, and paprika. Stir to blend.
• Taste test; add more mayo to your taste and sea salt and ground pepper to taste.
• Add chopped dill pickles last and stir to mix.
• Taste test again. Adjust mayo, salt and pepper if needed.
• NOTE: Additional mayonnaise can be added to get salad to desired consistency. I usually add a little "extra" as it seems to get absorbed by the potatoes and I don't like it dry.

PERFECT CORNED BEEF FROM THE MICROWAVE

Steps:

• Place corned beef into oven bag.
• Add all ingredients & then tie knot in bag (or with string etc).
• Shake to mix.
• Place bag with meat fat side up in a microwave container which is large enough to fit (this is for safety reasons as liquid will be extremely hot when done).
• Pierce bag a couple of times to allow steam to escape.
• Microwave on HIGH for 10 Minutes.
• Then reduce to a simmer & cook for 20 minutes per 500grams (1.1lbs).(power level 6 on my microwave).
• Allow to stand for 30 Minutes.
• Slice and serve hot.
• (Leave any left over portions in liquid until serving so the meat does not dry out.).
• Note:- It is possible to make this in a large enough microwave bowl without the bag. The bowl must have a lid with holes and the liquid must cover the meat entirely ie. double the recipe.

KRISTI'S DEVILED EGG POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into a 1/4 inch dice and put in a pot. Cover with water, add a dash of salt and bring to a boil. Boil for about 7 minutes or until soft, but not mush.
• In the meantime, dice the eggs similarly and deposit in a large bowl. Mix in mayo and spices and fold together. Be careful not to break the whites up too much.
• Drain the cooked potatoes and submerge in a cold water bath until cool. Drain well and fold in to the egg mixture.
• Chill for at least 2 hours, but overnight is better. Chives are a great addition to this if you can get them fresh.
