Potsies White Trash Trinity Recipes

POTSIE'S WHITE TRASH DIRTY MARTINI

Steps:

• For best results and taste keep vodka in the freezer.
• Pour 1/4 oz of vermouth into a frozen martini glass and swirl it around til the inside of the glass has been coated. Discard vermouth.
• Combine vodka and brine in a cold shaker glass with ice and shake vigorously.
• Strain into the cold martini glass swirled with vermouth.
• Place pickled okra pod into glass.
• Don't forget to eat the drunken okra pod after you have finished the drink!
• Repeat steps 2-6 as often as needed.

POTSIE'S WHITE TRASH TRINITY

Steps:

• Pour oil into a skillet with a tight fitting lid (preferably cast iron but go with what you have)and then add potatoes, onion, and okra and toss.
• Heat your skillet (with all of the ingredients) over medium high heat.
• Sprinkle with garlic powder and a generous amount of pepper. Save salt for later(Salting potatoes makes them "sweat". Just like eggplant. You don't want them to do that while trying to brown them -- it will increase your cooking time.).
• Cover skillet with a tight fitting lid and cook over a medium high heat until potatoes are steamed soft, stirring about every 5 minutes. Don't use a high heat YET -- you are not trying to brown the potatoes yet just get them soft.
• They should be soft in about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of your cubed potatoes. I like to cube mine relatively small- I think the end result is a better texture. (For me, anyway).
• After potatoes are soft, remove the lid (and don't recover anymore) and turn the heat up to brown the potatoes. I usually only turn them two or three times because I like some of them browned and other ones still soft.
• When browned to your liking remove from skillet and salt to your taste.
• Serve with ketchup if you must but a creamy white gravy is better.

POTSIE'S CREAMED CHICKEN AND BISCUITS CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Grease the bottom and sides of an 11x7 inch baking dish or 10 inch quiche dish.
• Chop the onion.
• Heat butter in a small nonstick skillet and saute until tender.
• Combine cooked onion, soup, chicken, milk, pimiento, and mayo in a bowl and then turn into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake for 15 minutes and remove from oven.
• Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese over the baked mixture.
• Arrange biscuits decoratively in a single layer and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over them.
• Return casserole to oven and bake until biscuits are golden brown and sauce is bubbly, usually about 20 minutes longer.
• NOTE: 02/16/09: This is RICH! You may sub sour cream for all or part of the mayo if you wish to cut back on the heaviness. The last time I made this I used a 1/4 cup of fat free mayo and 1/4 cup of sour cream. I think it was delicious! Also -- I took the suggestion of adding a cup of cooked green peas. What a terrific idea! I LOVED it! I think I might add two cups next time. Thanks to you all for making my humble recipe and leaving your suggestions. You GREATLY improved a recipe I was already proud of. Thanks so much.
