What's for supper?


Fried bream
Potato salad
Buttermilk cornbread
Sliced cucumbers
Homemade ranch dip
I almost didn't get a picture of the cornbread! LOL

POTATO SALAD:
Ingredients:
6 medium red potatoes, wash & peel, dice into 1" pieces or leave skins on, and dice. Some say leave whole to boil, I don't.
Boil until tender in salted water, drain, rinse carefully with cold water and set aside to cool.
2 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped,
1 t. mustard
2 - 3 heaping tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 -1/2 c. chopped sweet pickles or dill; both work well.
A little bit of juice from pickles.
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
Salt & pepper to taste
Your choice:
Paprika, dill weed, course black pepper, green olives, parsley, strips of pimento, etc. for garnish.
Fold all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, until well mixed. Transfer to large serving bowl , sprinkle and/or place on your choice of garnishes.
Some like to eat it chilled & some like it warm. You decide.

Bake until golden brown approximatley 20 minutes. Broil if necessary to brown top for 1-2 minutes. Watch so it doesn't scorch. Take out of oven slice like a pie. Serve hot with butter.
