Lemonade Pie
1 can (6 fl. oz) lemonade frozen concentrate
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
3 1/2 cups (8 oz) thawed Cool Whip topping
1 9-inch graham cracker crust
1. Place concentrate in a large mixing bowl and beat about 30 seconds.
2. Gradually add ice cream and blend well. When you soften the ice cream make sure that you get it to the point where you are just able to mix through it. You do not want it too soft that it is liquid.
3. Fold in whipped topping. Pile mixture into the graham cracker crust and freeze until firm for at least four hours or overnight.
Note: If you use the store bought graham cracker crust, save the plastic top and use that as a cover for your pie when you place it in the freezer.
Nanny Williams' Potato Salad
6 medium to large red potatoes
1 stalk celery, diced
2 Tbsp. onion, diced
1 cup Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise
3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Salt & Pepper
1. Do not peel potatoes. Cut in half if the potatoes are large. Place in a large pot with enough water to cover the tops of the potatoes and boil potatoes until they are fork tender. Drain the pot and rinse potatoes with cold water.
2. When potatoes are cool enough to handle but are still warm, peel them. Run potatoes through a wire french fry cutter, cutting through the tops of the potato as it comes through the wires. You want the potatoes to have some chunks but are not too large or distinct in shape. Most of the potato will crumble as you work them through the french fry cutter.
3. Add the celery and onion to the potato and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Mix in the Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise and blend well. Add the vinegar and mix well.
5. Place in a covered container and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
Makes 4 - 6 side servings.
Note: You can adjust any of these ingredients depending on what you like. I have been known to add a mashed hard boiled egg to this recipe but only when no one is watching.
