Sour Cream and Chive Smashed Potato salad

 I pickled the red onions and used some of the left over pickling juice.





Ingredients

1 pound potatoes, yukon or other thin skinned potato, whole    

Sea Salt

1/2 red onions rough chopped or sliced

Chives

4 cloves garlic rough chopped

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup miracle whip or mayo

1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard

1 Tbsp garlic pepper

Red wine vinegar

1 tsp granulated sugar


Pour the vinegar, sugar and 2 cloves chopped garlic in a pint jar add the onions and set aside. Boil the potatoes whole add the salt to the water approximately 15-20 minutes.  Boil until just before completely done, you don't want mushy potato as you will need to smash them before dressing them. 

Drain potatoes and let sit for 5-10 minutes, if serving warm. Mix sour cream, miracle whip, Dijon and garlic pepper to make a dressing, set aside.  Once the potatoes are cooled but still warm , transfer to a bowl, take potato masher or use the back of a large spoon to smash all of the potatoes, leaving skins on. Pour dressing over potatoes and mix just enough to dress.

If serving as a cold side, just place the bowl that has been dressed in the fridge.

Mini Cheesecakes with Apple Caramel Sauce I love making mini cheesecakes as they store really well and you don’t have to worry about eating too much. You can top them with almost anything. This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
