I decided for this weeks What's Cooking to make my Mother's recipe for Wilted Spinach over New Potatoes. It is also her dressing recipe for her German Potato Salad
Dressing: 4 strips of bacon 1/2 C. cider vinegar
1 cup sugar 1/2 C. water1/2 tsp. salt 1egg
2 tsps. cornstarch dash of pepper
Cut bacon strips into small pieces and fry until crisp. Combine sugar,salt,pepper, cornstarch and egg, beating in the egg, then vinegar and water-mix well. Pour this mixture into the pan with the bacon fat and bacon. Cook slowly until thick. Pour over your fresh spinach and stir.
For dinner we had roasted chicken, carrot sticks, and new potatoes with wilted spinach.
I do need to improve my picture taking when it comes to food. Didn't think to turn the chicken leg over before taking the picture!

That sounds so amazingly good! I have to try this recipe - this week! I am in Austria and there seems to be tons of variety of potatoes - I am not sure what new potatoes are, but there are some small yellow ones that will probably work just fine! Thanks for sharing! Cheers! Evelyn
ReplyDeleteAny potatoes will be good! this was long before there were all the varieties!
DeleteOh, that looks so good! Spinach and new potatoes are on my grocery list for tomorrow. Thanks for participating.
ReplyDeleteMom would also use fresh lettuce from the garden and in the spring of the year, she was known to make it with dandelion greens.
