This is the easy way out for potato salad, when you're not in the mood to cut up potatoes. This was demonstrated at the Southern Living Cooking Show in Orlando a few years ago. Ingredients:
3 1/2-4 cups frozen potatoes, such as ore-ida cottage fries (found in the frozen section next to tater tots) or 3 1/2-4 cups waffle-shaped french fries (found in the frozen section next to tater tots) |
1/2 cup cold water |
6 slices bacon, minced |
1/2 cup celery, chopped |
1/2 cup red onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons flour |
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon celery seed |
2/3 cup water |
1/3 cup tarragon vinegar or 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar |
2 hard-cooked eggs |
paprika, to garnish |
Directions:
1. Place frozen potatoes and cold water in covered skillet; cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until fork-tender; drain.
2. Meanwhile, in skillet, cook bacon until softened; add celery and onion and cook until bacon is crisp and celery golden. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.
3. Spoon off excess fat, reserving 2 T bacon drippings in skillet; blend in flour,sugar,salt and celery seed. Add water and vinegar; cook while stirring until smooth and thickened.
4. Add bacon and celery. Gently fold this mixture into the hot, well-drained potatoes. Turn into a 1.5 quart bowl. Garnish with hard-cooked egg slices and sprinkle with paprika.
