Kittencals Dill Baby Potatoes Recipes

BONNIE'S YUKON GOLD DILL POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. MAKE THE HERB VINEGAR first: Add the 1/4 cup white wine vinegar and the 1 tablespoons of dill weed to a one-cup glass measuring cup and microwave one minute, remove and let cool and steep while you peel the potatoes and get them ready to boil. MAKE AN HERB SACHET: Take a coffee filter and place 3 tablespoons dill weed in it and tie it with a kitchen string. Peel and cut potatoes into 3/4 inch pieces and cover with water, and add one tablespoon of salt and the herb sachet. Bring the potatoes to a boil, cook until tender but not overcooked. Drain thoroughly. Discard the sachet. Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
• 2. MEASURE AND ADD HERB VINEGAR: Add 2 tablespoons of the herb vinegar and reserve the rest for later. Drizzle it evenly over the hot potatoes and stir gently until covered. Refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes, stir once more during that time.
• 3. MAKE THE DRESSING: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, the rest of the dill and vinegar mixture, mustard, salt, and pepper, and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate. Chop the scallions thin, set aside.
• 4. ADD DRESSING TO POTATOES: When the potatoes have cooled, add the dressing, stir in the scallions and the reserved herb vinegar. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors blend, about 30 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper. This is how it looks when finished. Enjoy!

KITTENCAL'S DILL PICKLES AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING

Steps:

• Before you start this make certain to have 20 (1-quart) sterilized glass canning jars with lids.
• I sterilize my jars and lids in my dishwasher, remove carefully and do not touch the inside of the jars after washing.
• Place the sterilized jars on the counter to cool slightly and cover with a very clean tea towel while continuing with the recipe.
• Wash and scrub the cucumbers well under cold water.
• Using a fork or tongs divide and drop the pickles between all the jars but do not over stuff the jars as the pickles need room to absorb the brine properly.
• For the brine: in a large (very clean) stock pot combine the brine ingredients; bring to full a boil and simmer stirring for about 1-2 minutes or until no salt granules remain; turn off the heat then cover with a lid and continue with the next step but do not let the water cool the water must be hot when poouring into the jars.
• To each jar add in 1-2 springs fresh dill, 3 whole cloves garlic and 4-5 black peppercorns.
• Ladle the HOT brine into each jar up to 1/2-inch from the top.
• Immediately place the lids on but DO NOT tighten completely.
• TO PROCESS: place the filled jars in the large pot or canner with a wire rack on the bottom (make certain the the jars are NOT touching each other!).
• Pour in very hot water to about 1-inch over the jars; bring to aboil and process for 20 minutes at full boil (use a timer for this).
• Remove the jars; set aside.
• As they cool you should hear the lids popping and they should have a small "dip" in the middle.
• The lids may NOW be tightened securely.
• Store in a cool dry place.
• Allow at least 2 weeks before opening.

KITTENCAL'S MAKE-AHEAD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Butter a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish.
• Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling water with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon white vinegar until just fork-tender (do not cook the potatoes until very soft just until a fork goes easily into the potatoes all the way)drain and place in a large bowl.
• Using an electric mixer beat the hot potatoes until just semi smooth and still a little chunky (I use my Kitchen Aid stand mixer for this).
• Add in cream cheese, sour cream, butter, onion powder, salt and black pepper; mix until combined and smooth.
• Spread the mixture into prepared baking dish.
• If desired you may sprinkle the top lightly with paprika, then allow to come down to room temperature.
• Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• When ready to bake set oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes or until hot.
• If desired sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and return to oven to melt (about 3 minutes).

KITTENCAL'S BEST DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Slice the eggs in half lengthwise; remove the yolks, and set whites aside.
• In a small bowl, mush yolks well with a fork, leaving no small lumps.
• Add next 10 ingredients (adjusting to suit taste) mix well to combine.
• Spoon or pipe egg yolk mixture evenly into the whites.
• Sprinkle with paprika.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap.
• Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve (if not making the yolk mixture a day ahead it is best to prepare the eggs and refrigerate for about 5 hours before serving this will give the flavors a chance to blend and intensify).
