Memorial Day Sides

This week we are giving you 2 wonderful side dish recipes! Our memorial day favorites Potato Salad, and Broccoli Salad. These two are so good, you can actually get the kids to eat broccoli.

Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 Bag Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 1 Bottle Mayo 8oz
  • 1/2 Sweet Onion diced
  • 6 Eggs (JM2 Eggs work great)
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 4 Strips Thick Cut Bacon
  • Chives for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 Degrees.
  2. Cut potatoes into chunks and place in a stock pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Add your 2 tbsp of salt, and set to high heat to boil. Boil for 20 minutes.
  3. While the potatoes are boiling, place bacon on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes. Slices should be firm for this salad.
  4. Once potatoes are finished, drain the water and place the potato chunks in a glass or metal bowl.
  5. Allow the stock pot to cool, and add the eggs. Fill the pot again with enough water to cover the eggs. Set to high heat to boil. Boil for 10-13 minutes depending on how done you prefer your yolks. (tip: if you place eggs in ice water immediately following boiling, it will help make peeling easier)
  6. Cut Bacon strips and eggs into chunks and add them to the bowl with the potatoes.
  7. Mix your mayo and mustard together, add your onion, and mix them all into the bowl of potatoes, bacon, and eggs.
  8. Add the chives, serve hot or cold, and enjoy with your juicy JM2 Steaks!
