Potato Salad

The first time I tried to make potato salad, it was a disaster. When my husband, Chris, made it it was out of this world. I asked him what his recipe was, but he told me it was a secret. Well, I decided to do some undercover work and find out how he made it. So I watched from afar. Ever since, my potato salad has come out great. It goes well with burgers or meatloaf.

1/2 bag red new potatoes
2-3 boiled eggs chopped
1/2 onion chopped
1/2 cup Hellman's mayonaisse
2 tablespoons mustard
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
Kosher salt
pepper

Cut potatoes into bite size pieces. Boil for about 15 minutes or until tender, not mushy. Drain and pour into a large bowl. Add other ingredients. Mix gently.

Confetti Corn

A couple of years ago, my sister-in-law had us over for dinner. I don't remember what the main entree was or even the dessert because the corn side dish took center stage. It was so good I could have eaten the leftovers and licked the skillet. We just visited again and luckily it was on the menu. This time I told her I'd have to put it on my blog so everyone can enjoy it. This goes well with a steak or chicken meal.

8 strips bacon cooked and chopped
4 cups sweet corn or 8 ears
1/2 onion chopped
1/2 red bell pepper chopped
1/2 green bell pepper chopped
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c. half and half
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Cook bacon in large skillet. Take out and chop. Leaving a little bacon grease, saute onion and peppers. Add corn and the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Serve.
