Pattis Potato Salad Recipes

HATTIE B'S POTATO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Place potatoes and salt in a medium stock-pot over high heat, adding enough cold water to cover the potatoes plus four inches of "head space".
• Heat to a simmer (do not boil) and cook for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife. Some potatoes may just begin to split.
• Carefully remove the cooked potatoes from the stove and strain. Place potatoes on a 1/2 sheet tray lined with parchment to cool - let them cool completely in the refrigerator. Overnight is best.
• Use a chef's knife to cut each potato into bite-size (1-inch) pieces and transfer cut potatoes into a mixing bowl.
• Arrange diced bacon in a cast iron skillet or over medium-low heat.
• Cook, stirring every few minutes, until bacon is crispy and deep golden brown but not burned, about 15 minutes.
• Remove bacon from skillet and carefully transfer to a cutting board and reserve bacon fat.
• Use a chef's knife to finely chop bacon until the size of bacon bits.
• Combine bacon, bacon fat and remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whisk well to evenly incorporate all ingredients.
• Next, combine cooked, diced potatoes and potato salad dressing and mix well.
• Transfer prepared salad into a serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Enjoy!

CRISPY POTATO PATTIES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Mix together the mashed potatoes, beaten egg, and onion in a medium bowl.
• Add the flour, cheese, salt, and pepper, and stir well with a wooden spoon.
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and butter together until the butter melts and the mixture starts to sizzle.
• Drop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the frying pan, patting it into 3-inch circles that are about 1/2 inch thick. Cook the potato patties until the bottom is browned and crisp, which will take about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Carefully turn each patty over with a spatula and cook the second side until it is brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes longer.
• Remove the patties from the pan and drain briefly on paper towels.
• Serve the patties immediately with ketchup or salsa or any other sauce you'd like. Enjoy.
