SUPER TUSCAN BURGERS AND POTATO SALAD WITH CAPERS AND CELERY

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil while you dice potatoes. Add potatoes to boiling water and salt water liberally. Boil potatoes until tender, 12 to15 minutes.
• While potatoes cook, prepare burgers. Combine pork and veal in a bowl with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup (eyeball it) red wine, onion, sage, garlic, salt and pepper then form 4 large patties.
• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Place the burgers into the skillet, leaving a space in the center of the pan to pile in mushrooms. Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet with burgers and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Flip burgers after 6 minutes and toss the mushrooms around as they brown at the center of the skillet. After the mushrooms begin to brown, season them with salt and pepper. The color will be deeper and the mushrooms will remain firmer if you wait for them to brown before salting. Cook burgers 5 minutes on opposite side then remove them from the pan to roll bottoms on a serving plate. Place sliced cheese on burgers, then the hot mushrooms. Cover plate loosely with foil to slightly melt cheese. Add remaining 1/4 cup of wine to skillet and loosen drippings. Dip roll tops in pan drippings to soak them up. Pile arugula on each burger then set roll tops in place.
• Drain potatoes and return them to the warm pot to dry them out. Take the pot over to your cutting board and add in capers, celery, onion, lemon zest and juice, red wine vinegar and 3 or 4 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil to pot. Toss to combine the salad, then season the salad with salt and pepper, to your taste. Transfer salad to a serving dish. Potato salad can be served warm or cold.

SUPER CREAMY POTATO SALAD KID FRIENDLY QUICKNEASY

Steps:

• 1. Clean you work area, don on your apron, wash hands and gather your ingredients.
• 2. Fill a medium sized pot with hot water (or boiled water from the kettle). Wash your potato and place your unpeeled potato into the pot. Heat on high, cover with lid and bring to a boil. Test potato with a skewer. Potato is ready if it is a little firm to push through. If it goes through too easily and breaks the potato, you have cooked it too long. Once cooked, remove potato from boiled water. Place on a tray/plate and let sit in the freezer while you prepare the vegetables.
• 3. Assemble your vegetable ingredients to be cut (celery, capsicum, spring onion or chives) wash, rinse and let drain.
• 4. Fill a small saucepan with cold water and place two eggs into water. Let sit on medium heat (basically you want to boil the eggs for 3-5 minutes depending on your heat setting).
• 5. On your cutting board, cut the Celery, Capsicum, Spring Onion or Chives as directed in the Ingredients list. Put into your mixing bowl. (note - I have chives and spring onions growing in the garden and used 3 sprigs/stalks of the spring onion but either will do)
• 6. Measure your mayonnaise and ranch dressing (I used a light version of the Ranch) and place into your mixing bowl with your vegetable ingredients.
• 7. Check eggs. If they have been boiling for 3-5 minutes, turn off stove and remove from heat. Grab the lid and drain the hot water out the pan (I do it with the eggs still inside) and fill with cold water. Let sit until you are ready for them. Or, skip that and grab a slotted spoon, remove eggs and place on a plate and put into the refrigerator.
• 8. Check on potato. If cool enough to touch, remove skin. Usually it should just peel off using your fingers, but I just use a peeler as it's much easier.
• 9. Dice potato into 1cm cubes and place into mixing bowl with your vegetable mix and dressing mix.
• 10. Remove hard boiled eggs from water/fridge. Peel shell off and rinse. If they are still warm, place them into the fridge/freezer for a few more minutes as they will be easier to cut. Once cooled enough, roughly chop eggs and place into your mixing bowl.
• 11. Mix all ingredients in mixing bowl until well covered. Cover and refrigerate until required.
• 12. Note - this recipe is a small batch and was enough for x5 kids between the ages of 2 years and 8 years hence the potato being cut into 1 cm cube pieces. All 7 (5 kids, 2 adults) of us had a heaped soup spoon each with some to spare and was just enough as an accompaniment to our BBQ. It is a really creamy dressing so if you love your potato salad you could easily add 1 or 2 more medium sized potatoes without having to top up the dressing (mayo/ranch) or vegetable ingredients.

SUPER QUICK POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Microwave potatoes on high for about 3 minutes, check to see if they are tender by squeezing lightly.

Remember they continue to cook for a while as they sit. Let cool on countertop while chopping other items. They may still be warm when you peel them, and that's ok.
• 2. Chop celery, pickle, and onion. Place in medium bowl. Add mustard, vinegar and 1/2 c dressing of your choice, mix well. (if it is too sharp from the vinegar, add a pinch or two of sugar)
• 3. Peel and chop potatoes into about 1/2- 3/4 inch dice, add to dressing/veggie mixture, season with pepper and salt, mix together lightly but thoroughly, adding extra mayo/Miracle Whip if needed.
• 4. Serve warm, or refrigerate and serve cold.

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes. While the potatoes are cooking, put 2 tablespoons olive oil into a saute pan, add the bacon and bring to a medium-high heat. Cook the bacon until it is brown and crispy. Remove from the heat and add the onions, celery and vinegar. Season with salt and reserve. When the potatoes are fork tender, drain them from the water and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. While the potatoes are still hot add the bacon-onion mixture. Stir to incorporate. Add the Mayonnaise and stir to combine. TASTE for seasoning and stir in the mustard. Add more salt, if needed. Zesty! Homemade Mayonnaise: *2 egg yolks 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Kosher salt 1 1/2 cups neutrally flavored oil (vegetable, canola, peanut) Place the egg yolks in the bowl of the food processor and add the vinegar and mustard. Season with salt, to taste. Turn the machine on and VERY slowly start to drizzle in the oil. Drip, drip, drip until the mixture starts to look like mayonnaise, then a slow steady stream of oil can be added. Cook's Note: If the mayonnaise is too thick add a few drops of water or if it is not thick enough, with the machine running, add a little more oil. *RAW EGG WARNING Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs Due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
