This salad is served at family tables for any of the holidays.  Every family has their own recipe, but the common ingredients are diced potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, carrots and mayonnaise.  Many years ago I had a Polish co-worker who brought this in work one day for me to try.  His mom used to come from Poland and stay for a few months, and I suppose cooked for him the whole time she was here!  I always ate this on top of a Ritz cracker – the taste reminds me of shrimp salad!

  • 4 large potatoes, boiled with their skin, then peeled and diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
  • 6 eggs, hard-boiled, grated on box grater
  • 1 pkg. peas and carrots, thawed
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle, diced
  • 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp. horseradish (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.  Mix in mayonnaise and add salt and pepper to taste.

If you are from New Jersey or New York you will love this recipe for "crumb buns".  We would get them every Sunday from the local bakery (now closed).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray 8 x 8 baking pan with nonstick spray.  Set aside.  In a medium bowl, sift together 1-1/2 cups flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.  In a second bowl, whisk together egg, milk, canola oil and vanilla.  Fold dry ingredients into egg mixture.

Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.  In a medium bowl, combining remaining 2-1/2 cups flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Pour melted butter over flour mixture and toss together until large crumbs form.  Sprinkle crumbs over batter.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool.  Dust liberally with confectioner's sugar.  Cut into squares.
