Dansk kartoffelsalat - Danish potato salad


Backstory is that B wanted to try some radishes so we had them in the fridge. When I saw a 1974 version of this classic salad that used radishes, I let it inspire me.
I especially appreciated that there was very little mayo and the herb infused vinegar give the potatoes a fresh, tangy taste.

Boil in salted water, until soft
1 lb new red potatoes cubed or l large red potato cubed (it's ok if it a bit more than 1 pound)
 Drain and immediately combine with dressing, the hot potatoes soaks up the flavor better.
 - see dressing instruction below

Meanwhile, make 2 just hard boiled eggs and chill them in ice water.

Dressing:
Separately combine and let sit about 10  minutes
1 t garlic, minced or crushed
2 T canola oil
In another bowl, combine
1/4 c white wine vinegar
1 t salt
1 t sugar
1/2 t dill
1/2 t tarragon
1/2 t parsley
Add to garlic oil to make dressing,
Pour this dressing over the hot potatoes and chill immediately.

While the potatoes are chilling, prepare
3 large radishes, sliced thinly

When potatoes are sufficiently cooled, add
1/4 c mayonnaise
Fold gently then combine with the cooled
2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and cubed
and the sliced radishes.
Taste and add more herbs if desired.

Chill until serving.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
