RED HOT & BLUE POTATO SALAD - THE ORIGINAL



Red Hot & Blue Potato Salad - the Original image

I've searched for this recipe for several years, ever since I worked at the Red Hot & Blue restaurant in Savannah, GA. I FINALLY managed to get ahold of the store manual's recipe, and this is scaled down from it. It will still make a fair amount, about 12 servings...but once you try it, you'll be grateful for that extra, cause it WON'T last long!!!

Categories     Potato

Time 55m

Yield 2/3 C Servings, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lbs Red Bliss potatoes
4 large eggs
1/2 cup finely chopped green onion top
1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
1 3/4 teaspoons celery seeds
1 3/4 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Steam the potatoes skin-on for approximately 45 minutes (you can boil them, but they tend to be slightly mushier in the end result). Set aside until cool enough to handle. Boil your eggs, then do the same. When cool enough, peel the eggs ONLY (do NOT peel the potatoes -- the skin gives it part of it's unique texture and taste).
  • In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients together until thoroughly mixed. Chop the potatoes and eggs into bite-size pieces and add to bowl. Mix GENTLY -- you want salad, not mush -- until blended.
  • Serve at room temp for up to 2 hours after making -- refridgerate leftovers. It tastes best when room temp, but is delicious cold too -- so if you are making this in advance, it's fine to chill it.
  • NOTE - If you are on a low-sodium diet, you can easily reduce or eliminate the salt the recipe calls for. Just let people salt it at table to taste!
  • ***Wanted to say THANKS to all the reviews! Here's another hint to make this easier: when you are going to make boiled eggs, ALWAYS make sure you buy the eggs at LEAST 7-10 days in advance. Why? Because as an egg matures, it develops a small air "bubble" inside it (it's the membrane separating from the shell). Having this bubble makes it a BREEZE to peel the eggs once they've cooled completely (also a great trick for Easter Eggs, BTW). You want your eggs to be around 10-12 days old, and it takes, on average, 2-3 days to get them from the laying facility to the store.

HEY MOM, I WANT SOME RED HOT FRUIT SALAD!



Hey Mom, I Want Some Red Hot Fruit Salad! image

Occ things you do on pure impulse turn out to be neat surprises. I got 1 of those surprises last nite when DH and I decided to have a simple fruit salad for dinner. I made it, looked at it and then thought ... BORING! I wanted to do something to make it an esp tasty and out of the ordinary attention-getter. I was sorting thru my cupboard, ran across some red hot cinnamon candies I had just brought back from the US and I decided my search was over. Before you scoff and move on to the next recipe, I gotta tell you this is really good, has a great holiday look and would also be good for a unique pot-luck dish. My bet is it will have your family begging for this fruit salad or even thinking of it as a dessert. Time does not include refrigeration time.

Time 15m

Yield 4 1 cup servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups seedless grapes (I used a mix of red & green)
1/2 cup raisins
2 fresh oranges (peeled & sectioned, I had clementines on hand & used 3 of them)
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple (well-drained)
1 kiwi (peeled & diced)
1/2 cup yoghurt (I used caramel flavor, but use vanilla just as often)
1/4 cup red-hot candies
2 bananas (sliced in 1/2 in slices)

Steps:

  • Combine yoghurt, red-hot candies & raisins. Refrigerate for at least 2 hrs, stirring at 30 min intervals.
  • Prepare & combine the remaining fruit ingredients in a bowl when nearly ready to serve. Add the bananas last.
  • Add the yoghurt, red-hots & raisin mix to the fruit. Stir well & refrigerate till ready to serve, but is best if served soon after mixing.
  • NOTES: A variety of fresh seasonal or canned fruits can be used w/equal success. The above was just what I had on hand. - Refrigeration time is important as it softens the candy & releases the cinnamon flavor & color. They will fully dissolve w/longer refrigeration time. Add chopped pecans or walnuts as an option & enjoy!
  • CAUTION: You will want to eat this sauce w/a spoon & forget about the fruit! Pls try to resist this temptation. Your family will love you for it.
