Fourth Of July Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. (You may need two pots.) Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fork-tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Start checking for doneness after 1 hour. Drain and rinse the potatoes with cold running water.
• Place black olives, green olives, pickle chips, onion, and hard-cooked eggs into a large heavy-duty disposable foil pan. When the potatoes are cool, chop them into small pieces and gently mix them with the olive-egg mixture.
• Combine mayonnaise and yellow mustard together. Add the dressing to the salad ingredients and mix well. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Put 1 pound each chopped blue potatoes and white potatoes and 1/2 pound chopped red potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water; add 2 tablespoons white wine vinegargarlic and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool slightly (discard the garlic). Toss with 1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, 1/3 cup torn basil and 2 tablespoons each chopped scallions and parsley. Dress with 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 more tablespoons vinegar, and salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté with a pinch of salt until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, just to take off that starchy, raw edge, about 2 minutes. Pour in heavy cream and whisk to combine. Whisk in milk. Cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until it just starts to simmer and thicken up. Add 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cayenne. Grate in nutmeg.
• Turn off heat. Stir in Worcestershire and fresh thyme leaves. Reserve until needed.
• Cover the bottom of a deep 10x15-inch casserole dish with about 25% of the reserved sauce. Add a layer of sliced potatoes, seasoning the tops with some of the remaining salt as desired; ladle over 1/3 of the sauce and sprinkle over 1/3 of the grated Cheddar cheese. Layer in ½ of the sliced ham.
• Place another layer of sliced potatoes on top and season with salt. Ladle over ½ of the remaining sauce; repeat layering with Cheddar cheese and ham.
• Place last layer of potatoes on top. Ladle over remaining sauce and spread out with a spatula. Sprinkle over remaining Cheddar cheese.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until browned, bubbling, and potatoes are very tender, about 1 ½ hours. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, and grapes in a bowl; add coconut.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, glass one if you have it, begin to layer ingredients as follows:.
• Layer 1 - Lettuce.
• Layer 2 - Celery.
• Layer 3 - Purple Onion.
• Layer 4 - Combine sour cream and sugar and pour over salad.
• Layer 5 - Combine mayonnaise and vinegar and pour on top.
• Layer 6 - Sprinkle parmesan cheese.
• Layer 7 - Sprinkle bacon.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes and let cook until tender. While the potatoes cook, in a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Drain the potatoes, stir them into the vinegar mixture and let them marinate for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
• In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream and heavy cream. Fold this creamy mixture into the potato mixture along with the onions and hard-cooked eggs. Cover and chill before serving if you wish. (This salad keeps for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.)
