Hi there - My name is Deb L. and I am one of the fun-lovin' Limbachs who are all somehow connected by food!
In an effort to preserve some of our family history and to bring us together, I wanted to start this blog to share some of the family recipes I have been carefully guarding over the years. (It's only fair, especially since I got a lot of Grandma L's recipes and part of her recipe box.)
So let's start off with a bang! Join me to get some great recipes and hear some related family tales pertaining to food. (I apologize in advance if some of the recipes do not contain specific measurements or serving sizes; we will try to come up with those as we are able, but keep in mind that some of these recipes were written on paper scraps and are many years old.)
Grandma's Hot Potato Salad
Ingredients
8 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 large onion, diced
1 c chopped celery
3 hard boiled eggs, peeled and diced
Dressing
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c vinegar
1/2 c water
1 egg or 2 yolks
1 T cornstarch or flour
1 t dry mustard powder
1 t salt
1 T butter
( Big T= tablespoon and small t= teaspoon)
Instructions:
Cook potatoes in salted water until done. Drain well. Combine in a bowl with onion, celery and eggs. Make dressing and pour hot dressing over potatoes. Toss to coat and let cool. Get your fork in there and dig in to do your "quality control" tasting! :)
To Make Dressing: In saucepan, mix sugar, salt, cornstarch and mustard powder. Add egg or yolks and beat well. Add vinegar and water, and cook mixture until thickened. Add butter until melted and stir to mix well.
