recipe Dinner Recipe: Authentic German Potato Salad
Servings: 8
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step Detailed Instructions

his authentic German potato salad recipe came from Speck’s Restaurant, which was a famous eating establishment in St. Louis from the 1920s through the ‘50s. I ate lunch there almost every day and always ordered the potato salad. When the owner learned I was getting married, he gave me the recipe as a wedding gift!
Recipe by: Violette Klevorn ~ Washington, Missouri

    Ingredients:
  • 3 pounds medium red potatoes
  • 5 bacon strips, diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 cup cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool.
  • In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp; using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels. Drain, reserving 4 tablespoons drippings in pan. Add onion, saute until tender.
  • Stir in the flour, salt, celery seed and pepper until blended. Gradually add the sugar, vinegar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
  • Cut potatoes into 1/4-in. slices. Add potatoes and bacon to the skillet; cook and stir gently over low heat until heated through. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve warm.


recipe Dessert Recipe: Spiced Upside-Down Apple Pie
Servings: 8
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step Detailed Instructions

My grandma taught me to make this pie when I was 4. Over the years, I've kept it about the same with just a few changes. Flip it out the second it stops bubbling. The glaze makes it look especially delicious.
Recipe by: Francine Bryson ~ Pickens, South Carolina


    Ingredients:
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 Dough for double-crust pie
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon apple pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 6 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 450°. Arrange pecans, with rounded sides facing down, on the bottom of a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate; drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar; press lightly.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to 1/8-in.-thick circle. Transfer to pie plate; place over brown sugar. Press the crust firmly against brown sugar and side of pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2-inch beyond rim of plate.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, pie spice and nutmeg. Add the apples, lemon juice and vanilla; toss to coat. Fill crust. Roll out remaining dough to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in crust.
  • Place a foil-lined baking sheet on a rack below the pie to catch any spills. Bake pie 10 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 350°. Bake until top is golden brown and apples are tender, 40-45 minutes longer. Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
