Recipe information

Yield
Serves 12 easily as a side dish.

Ingredients

4-5 pounds Yukon Gold or Red Potatos (not baking potatos)

2 TBSPS white vinager

6 eggs, hardboiled and chopped (reserve some sliced egg for garnish)

1 cup real Mayonnaise (or more to taste).

1/4 cup white champagne vinager-(THE SECRET - don't tell anyone).

1/2 cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley.

3 stalks celery (with leaves) chopped fine.

1 large red onion, chopped fine.

3 large green onions (scallions), chopped fine.

1 TBSP good dijon mustard.

1 TSP celery seed.

2 TSPs ground corriander.

1 TSP hot Hungarian Paprika (not sweet paprika).

1/2 TSP cayenne pepper (use to taste)

Fresh ground salt and cracked pepper.

Extra sliced egg, parsley and paprika for garnish.

Preparation

Scrub Potatoes and boil (add the 2 TBSPS vinager to the boiling water. This will keep the potatoes from breaking apart during cooking), set aside until cool. Boil Eggs to hardboiled state.
When Potatos are cooked and cooled, remove skins and slice into small bite sized pieces.
Add remaining ingredients and mix, combining thoroughly. Refrigerate for four hours to combine flavours.

Recipe notes

Wampanoaug Clam Fritters

The clams’ natural briny sweetness serves as a surprising foil for the tender fritter batter—just be sure to pull off the tough outer coating of the siphon.

Grape Dumplings

Native American people made these with cornmeal dumplings, simmering them with wild grapes, which were harvested at their peak sweetness.

Fufu

Fufu is a dish that has been passed down through many generations and is seen as a symbol of Ghanaian identity and heritage. Making fufu traditionally is a very laborious task; this recipe mimics some of that hard work but with a few home-cook hacks that make for a far easier time.

Palets Bretons

Palets bretons are oversize cookies that feature butter, and because they’re from Brittany, they’re traditionally made with beurre salé, salted butter.

Charred Vegetable Ragù

This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!

Mississippi Mud Cake

This cake was created from thrift and was supposedly named after its appearance, which reminded people of the muddy Mississippi River bottom.

Kimchi Bloody Mary

The kimchi brine is the secret hero here; just a splash of it brightens the cocktail while deepening it with a little funky je ne sais quoi.

Île Flottante

Originally called omelette à la neige (snow omelet) in reference to the fluffy snow-like appearance of the meringue, île flottante (floating island) has a lengthy history that dates back to the 17th century.
