Once the potato mixture has cooled, add the spices and vegetables, and stir. Once mixed, add the mayonnaise and mix well. Optional: Sprinkle additional smoked paprika on top of the salad.
Mains & Sides Potato and Egg Salad This is a family favourite. It is not the healthiest for you, but it is a crowd-pleaser! Ingredients: 3 pounds potatoes (use your favourite; Yukon Gold is a good option) 8 strips bacon 8 eggs
Cranberry Bacon Green Beans Ingredients: 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into small cubes 1 shallot, thinly sliced ⅓ cup dried cranberries Kosher salt
1 ½ cups mayonnaise 1 cup diced cucumber 1 cup diced tomatoes 1 stalk celery, finely chopped 1 tsp dry mustard 1 tbsp smoked paprika ½ tsp salt Pepper to taste Directions:
Freshly ground black pepper 2 lb green beans, trimmed ¼ cup goat cheese Directions:
Place bacon in a large, cold skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate using a slotted spoon, reserving the fat in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium. Add shallot and cranberries to the skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add green beans and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook until the beans are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bean mixture to a platter. Top with goat cheese and the crispy bacon.
Cooking Tip: Season in layers: Season your food at different stages in cooking, not just at the end. Once the potatoes are cooked, strain them from the water and add them to a large bowl. While the potatoes are still hot, pour the bacon fat over them. Cool and shell the eggs, then chop them and add them to the potatoes. Chop the bacon and add it to the potatoes. Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Leave the skin on or off, depending on the type of potato (russets should be peeled, others are optional). Boil the potatoes until soft. While the potatoes are boiling, cook the bacon (save the fat!) and hard-boil the eggs.
