With Father's Day around the corner, I wanted to make sure that some items would get there on time for the big day. The Wishful Dish is always on Mondays at 5pm, so if it's frozen, it will get there by Friday (and that means Father's Day!).
My Friday Night Meal also makes a great Father's Day gift. Who doesn't like steakburgers from Kansas City Steak Company? Well, the burgers are really easy to prepare, and I wanted a great side dish to go with it. So, this week I asked Greg Shockley, from Kansas City Steak Company to share one of his favorite sides to go with the burgers. A really good German Potato Salad is a beautiful thing, and here is his recipe:
German Potato Salad
2 pounds red bliss potato cut into cubes or wedges
1/2 pound cooked bacon and reserve drippings
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/8 cup sugar
1 small white onion diced
1 small bunch fresh parsley chopped
1 small bunch fresh dill chopped
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 cup thawed frozen peas
salt and pepper to taste
Directions..
Cut potatoes into large pieces. Boil the potatoes until they are fork tender, drain and place into a bowl. Cook the bacon in the pan until it’s brown and crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and add the diced onion to the bacon drippings (this is your secret ingredient for extra flavor!). Once the onion is browned, add the onion and bacon drippings to the potatoes. In a separate bowl, add the vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, dill and parsley and mix it until it’s combined. Add these ingredients to the potatoes and mix. Add the peas and season to taste with salt and pepper. Yummy!
A quick tip: For great flavor, don’t worry about it being chilled. The texture is fantastic at room temperature. So, you can leave this out at the barbecue for hours and be fine!
Also, in every show we try to have one new item at an awesome price, and this week it goes to Hollywood Gourmet Dogs! To check out the offer on these all-beef hot dogs, you can click here.
Remember, the price will only be valid until the end of the day on Monday, but you can see it here before everyone else does! I'm looking forward to you stopping on Monday at 5pm!
