Spoonbread Potato Salad Recipes

PERFECT POTLUCK POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Add sliced potatoes to a large saucepan. Cover with cold water, about an inch above the tops of the potatoes. Bring to a boil over MED-HIGH heat. Covering the pan helps this happen faster, but pay attention that it doesn't boil over!!
• Once boiling, add 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt and stir. Boil, for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Watch out for the foam on top of the water, it can boil over if you're not careful. Adjust the heat so that the potatoes are still boiling, but not so hot that they're roaring.
• Drain potatoes in a colander, then return potatoes to the same hot pot you boiled them in. Add vinegar and stir to combine. Let sit a minute or two, then return to the colander to cool slightly.
• While potatoes are cooling, add dressing ingredients plus remaining 1 tsp kosher salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
• Chop eggs, red onion, celery and pickles. Add cooked potatoes to the dressing in the mixing bowl and top with chopped eggs, onion, celery, pickles and crumbled bacon.
• Gently stir it all together, until well combined. Cover tightly and refrigerate until cold, at least 3-4 hours.

SPOONBREAD POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes in half if large, put them in a pot and add enough lightly salted water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, uncovered, and boil gently for 15 to 20 minutes, until just tender. Drain. When cool enough to handle, peel and cut in coarse chunks into a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, cider vinegar, salt, dry mustard and paprika. Mix with the still-warm potatoes. Cover, and chill for several hours.
• Right before serving, add the grated onion, celery and chopped eggs. Mix together the mayonnaise and prepared mustard. Stir into the salad, and season to taste with celery salt. If desired, garnish with olives and strips of red and green pepper.

MY GRANDMA'S BEST POTATO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a lightly rolling boil over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork or paring knife. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Peel the skins from the potatoes and cut into 1/2" to 3/4" square pieces. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the white vinegar. Toss the potatoes with the vinegar and set the potatoes aside to cool, about 15-20 minutes.
• Add the celery and the green onions to the potato mixture. Chop 4 of the hard boiled eggs and add to the potato mixture.
• In a medium bowl, mix the Miracle Whip or mayonnaise, yellow mustard, celery seed and salt and pepper. Fold into the potato mixture and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Slice the last egg into thin slices and place the slices on top of the salad. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight before serving.

CLASSIC POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Set the potatoes in a large pot; add 1 tablespoon salt and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Set over high heat and cook just until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. (You still want the potatoes to still have some shape to avoid turning the dish into mashed potatoes.) Drain potatoes, and set them aside to cool.
• As potatoes cool, make the dressing: To a large bowl, add mayonnaise, relish, mustard and granulated onion; whisk to combine.
• Add the potatoes to the dressing, along with the diced hard-boiled eggs, and celery, if using; stir gently to combine. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
• Chill for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight. Serve cold. Finish with a sprinkle of paprika. Potato salad will keep for 4 days in an airtight container.

SPOONBREAD WITH CHEESE AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart soufflé dish or casserole and sprinkle with enough Parmesan (about 1 tablespoon) to lightly coat the dish. Set aside.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet, add the scallions and cook until just wilted. Set aside.
• In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, heat the milk, half-and-half and salt until bubbles form around the edges. Slowly sprinkle in the cornmeal, stirring constantly. Continue to stir and cook over low heat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Remove pot from the heat and add the remaining butter and Parmesan, the scallions and the Cheddar cheese. Stir vigorously until well incorporated.
• Lightly beat the egg yolks and add them, stirring vigorously. Beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Beat a large spoonful of whites into the cornmeal mixture; then gently fold in the rest of the whites. Pour into the prepared dish and smooth the top. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until puffy and golden brown on top. Serve immediately.

SPOONBREAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, baking powder and pepper.
• To another medium bowl, add the melted butter, corn kernels, creamed corn, sour cream, eggs and vanilla, and stir to combine.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
• Fold in crawfish and chives, if using. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly to the edges of the pan.
• Bake until set and lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the middle to test. If it comes out clean, pull it out of the oven. If not, bake the spoonbread for another 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with extra chives, if desired, and serve the spoonbread hot, with butter.
