POTSIE'S WHITE TRASH TRINITY
The Cajuns have a "Holy Trinity" of cooking which consists of celery, onion, and bell peppers. Texas White Trash (which I come from a long and distinguished line of)have our own Holy Trinity of cooking consisting of potatoes, onions, and okra. My family has been making this for years and I remember eating it while I was still strapped in a booster chair. If you love fried potatoes- if you love okra- and if you love onions- you will love this dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. May be served with ketchup but if you want real authentic White Trash fare- serve smothered in creamy white gravy! You can get me to do some rather unpleasant things if you wave a plate of this at me.

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 WHITE TRASH DIRTY MARTINI
What makes a classy martini become white trash? A pickled pod of okra instead of an olive, of course. I came up with this 10 years ago when I was out of olives and then noticed a jar of pickled okra in the fridge. A local bar that I frequent began making them for me and now it's very popular there.

ALTON BROWN'S WHITE TRASH
Alton once posted this on his website and said that he always cranks out a bushel or two of it during the holidays. He also said "Dole this stuff out carefully. It is highly habit forming." I totally agree and for this reason have no earthly idea how many servings it makes! Depends on how much you can eat! LOL Especially good to anyone who likes the salty-sweet combination. Cooking time is cooling time.

My sister-in-law made this at Christmas-time, and everyone loved it! It's very easy to make, and makes a great snack. It also makes a great Christmas goodie to give out to friends and family. I have no idea how it got it's name....

WHITE TRASH PARTY MIX
This is a very yummy, sweet party mix that gets a lot of requests. I usually make two batches during the Christmas season and one during Easter and sometimes throughout the year "just for the fun of it." If it has been a while since I have taken some to work, they start reminding me it is time to make another batch. It is very addicting. This makes a huge batch. You can cut it in half, but why? I have a large (28 quart) storage container that I make it in and store it in. You can use different colored M&M's for the different seasons, or use team colors for a football party or tailgate snack.
