Donna Dodds Potato salad

The next recipe in the Donna Dodds series is my mothers potato salad.  When barbecuing with my fathers family two things always have to be present: Mom's potato salad and her BBQ sauce.  I don't use my mothers BBQ sauce but my dads family loves it. My fathers family loved my mothers cooking, i believe, because it was the closest to their Mothers cooking.

Boil 5lbs russet potato's cubed 1/2 to 3/4 thick for 30 minutes
1 large onion chopped (white onion can add a nice little fresh punch)
4 green onions  chopped
6 stalks celery chopped
6 hard boiled eggs chopped
2 tsp yellow mustard
1/2 cup miracle whip
1/2 cup mayonnaise (to start)
salt and fresh cracked pepper

drain and cool potato's add and mix all ingredients add more mayonnaise if needed then refrigerate
it is necessary to give it plenty of time to cool

I hope you enjoy!

Salmon patties / Salmon Burgers

My mother used to make these when i was a kid the question is did we love the salmon patties or the side dishes... @kraftfoods macaroni & cheese and canned french style green beans! I have made these changing seasonings and types of bread crumbs however they typically come out very similar.  I am going to give my mothers original recipe followed by the next one i will try. 

*note sometimes you will find bone segments they are easily crushed by hand during mixing

mom's recipe :

1 can salmon
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 onion diced
celery salt

mix together by hand & form palm size patties will make 4-5 patties
they fight to fall apart so fry them in hot oil 5 minutes each side
and serve

the next salmon pattie recipe i will try
1 can salmon
1/2 cup corn bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced onion

1/8 cup minced celery
1 egg

mix together by hand & form palm size patties will make 4-5 patties
they fight to fall apart so fry them in hot oil 5 minutes each side
