Cuisine: Side dish

Those Potatoes

My mother-in-law used to make “Those Potatoes”. I have no idea where she got the recipe from. They are very crispy and delicious. It works best if you cook them in a cast iron skillet.

Leek Salad with Vinaigrette Dressing

Years ago, I made this Leek Salad with Vinaigrette Dressing recipe for my husband who loved it. Over the years, he has asked me to make it again, but I couldn't remember where I got the recipe. Well, I found it! It’s in Gourmet LA: A Collection of Fresh and Elegant Recipes (1989). The Junior League cookbooks are generally excellent.

Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing

This Cornbread Stuffing is another side dish for Christmas dinner. I think it goes nicely with ham, though I guess it should not be called stuffing due to the fact that it is not stuffed into anything!
