Joes Polish Potato Salad Recipes

JOE'S POLISH POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Wash and cut up the potatoes into 1 inch cubes. In a dutch oven, cook potato pieces in water until just fork tender. Drain potatoes and leave in colander.
• While the potatoes are cooking, cut up the bacon into small cubes, and the sausage links into 1/4 inch slices. After the potatoes are removed, cook the bacon chunks in the dutch oven to render the bacon fat. Add the sausage slices and heat them through. Remove all of the meat and set aside.
• Add the sugar, flour, salt, mustard and celery seed to the hot bacon fat in the dutch oven. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture is hot and bubbly. Gradually add the chicken broth and vinegar and bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened. Gently stir in the onion, celery, and parsley and cook for two minutes. Stir in the meat and potatoes and continue cooking until heated through.
• Serve and enjoy!

PALUSKI

Steps:

• Cook potatoes and drain well. Press through a ricer and place in a large bowl. Cool.
• Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Mixing well. Make a well in the center of flour and add eggs, one at a time, mixing well until all the eggs are mixed well.
• Add the riced potatoes and mix until all ingredients are blended real well. If necessary add some water to make the dough pliable if too stiff, this will depend on how much flour you add. (I have found that 4 cups will make a very wet dough, so I add 1/4 cups of flour at a time until the dough feels just right. This is done by feel.****do not make the dough too stiff****.
• Roll out dough in portions at a time onto floured surface, rolling out into a long log about 1-inch thick.
• Cut logs into 3/4-inch pieces, rolling slightly to even out.
• Drop into rolling salted boiling water and cook until paluski float to the top, allowing them to simmer a few minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a large bowl.
• Have some melted butter ready to drizzle over the paluski to coat them.
• You can sauté some onions in butter and toss in with them.
