Great B's Potato Salad

Another one of Great B's staples is her potato salad. We don't eat potatoes anymore, so we've tried making it both with cauliflower and parsnips and it's really good! I think I like the cauliflower the best. I bet it would be really good made with celeriac (celery root) too! Anyway, without further ado!

Great B's Potato Salad
Dressing:
3 eggs
1/2 c white vinegar
1/2 c safflower oil 
1/3 c honey (or 1/2 c sugar for original recipe)
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp dried mustard
1 TBSP arrowroot (or white flour for original recipe)
----------
2 TBSP mayo

Whisk together all of the ingredients except the mayo in a double boiler or in a glass bowl set over simmering water. Cook over medium heat whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Add the mayo and whisk thoroughly.

Cook your potatoes, cauliflower, parsnips, celeriac or what ever you're going to use and mix with as much dressing as you'd like. We usually add hard-boiled eggs and onions, so add as much of each as you'd like.

Note: One batch of dressing is just about right for 5 lbs. worth of potatoes according to our liking.


And the Bible verse of the week!

"God said: This is the sign of the covenant that I am making between me and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come: I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and every living creature—every mortal being—so that the waters will never again become a flood to destroy every mortal being."
Genesis 9:12-15

  1. Mmm...another delicious sounding recipe. It is such a great idea to try to eliminate some of our daily starch intake and replace them with more healthful foods, just as you did in the potato salad recipe. Improvising is awesome!
