Potato Salad my way ( for 2 People)

Potato salad, there are as many recipes as there are families.

My version (you need time and planning) :
  •     2 Russet potatoes, boiled with skins to be tender, remove and let them cool down. Over night into the fridge
Next day: 
  • peel the potatoes and slice them into bite size pieces. Add them to a bowl. 
  • clean and cut 1/2 medium onion in small pieces and add to the potatoes
  • use 2 hard boiled eggs and cut them into small pieces, add to the potatoes
  • Use your favorite pickles and cut them into small pieces and add to the potatoes
  • Mix 2 tbsp of sour cream, 2 tbsp of yellow mustard, 2 tbsp of mayo and add to the salad
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and mix well. 
I would prepare this in the morning. At dinner time time spices had time to mix and mingle.
Potato salad goes with  a ton of things. 
Christmas eve it is "wiener", although I can't get the original. This comes close.

Cut them into large chunks. Roast the Poblano pepper and the Hungarian Pepper over an open flame and then let it cool down. Remove the burned skin and the seeds and cut them into bite size pieces. Clean and the peppers  and cut them into bite size pieces. In a large pot, add the olive oil and the onions and let them get a little soft. Add the bell peppers and cook for 5 minutes, stir often. Then add everything...

Potato Cheese Pierogies

Image
My grandma made great pierogies. I loved her blueberry version. I will make them some time, when the blueberries in my backyard are ripe. For now I am going for the potato/cheese/sour cream version. The idea for the recipe comes from  Nagi . Now I don't need to feed many people. So I am cutting things down and changing the process. There are several components that come together at the end. Potato cheese mixture (part 1): Peel about 6 potatoes, cut them, and cook until done. When they are still fairly hot, put them through a potato ricer. (I got myself one a few years back, as I also like to make German potato dumplings, and for those I would need that.) Spread the potatoes on a flat board or plate and let it cool down. When they are room temperature, cover tight with cling wrap and into the fridge they go. I did that yesterday. The next day (part 2): Put the potatoes in a bowl, add some salt and pepper, 2 tbsp of melted butter, and some cheese. I used a mix of smoked gouda and par...

Soljanka

Image
There are many versions of Soljanka on the internet. This is my version. We need 1 large onion (chopped) 2 cans of fire roasted diced tomatoes 1/2 bottle of tomato juice 1  cup of chopped up pickles (famous Dave's spicy chips) 4 cups of water 2 tsp of tomato bullion from Knorr 1 pack of Eckrich Turkey sausage, sliced in half over the full length and then cut into 5mm pieces 1/2 tsp of Allspice 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika The picture also shows tomato paste. I ended up not needing it. In a dutch oven, heat up some  oil, add the chopped onions, let them get translucent. Then add the sausage and let it get some color. Now add all the remaining things, bring to a boil, cover, turn the heat down and simmer for about 1h. Stir occasionally. Serve with a slice of lemon and some sour cream. -Mahlzeit-
