Recipes from 451 Friends

by Staff Writer

Check out the cherry-filled cupcake recipe (yum!) over at Coaching Cooking. …and don’t overlook the addendum.

AND! Here, Farley’s Potato Salad recipe – I was afraid it might be overlooked in the comments.

Boil your potatoes and eggs as usual. Meanwhile, chop green onions and green olives. (I’m very generous with both.)When the potatoes/eggs are done, put them in the bowl with a few squirts of mustard and a couple spoonfuls (serving spoons…) of mayo.
Sidenote: Now, I know you have a thing about Miracle Whip (haha), but I am a fanatic for Blue Plate! It’s the only mayo I’ll eat and had to get my mom to ship it to me as it’s not out here in California.
Anyway,salt & pepper and stir everything together until it’s almost like mashed potatoes. I even add a bit of oilve juice to achieve smoothness (and more saltiness). Everyone loves it!

    You need another version of potato salad.
    Boil some young potatoes and cut in ahlves or quarters. Sprinkle a little vinegar and water over them. Mix some sour cream with chopped chives and chop some pickled cucumber, egg and fresh cucumber. Add salt, pepper and any other seasonings that refuse to sit safely on the shelf (paprika is restless on some shelves, cayenne on others; dill or mustard can be particularly unruly.)
