Potato Salad

10-12 med-large potatoes
6 eggs hard boiled chopped
1/2 cup celery finely chopped
8 green onions finely chopped
1/2 pickle finely chopped
1 cup+ bacon
1 1/2 cups miracle whip
1 1/2 tsp. mustard
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt (maybe 1/2 tsp. more to taste)
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. pepper

To hard boil eggs, put them in cold water with 1/4 tsp of salt and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to a medium boil. Boil for 10 min

then put into cold water as soon as they are done. Peel and chop.

Peel potatoes and cut into 1 inch cubes. Place in pot and add water until it just covers the potatoes. Boil for 8-10 minutes until you can stick a fork in the potatoes and they feel soft. Drain and place on paper towel to cool (Don't rinse in cold water!). While potatoes are cooling, combine eggs, celery, green onion, pickle, and bacon. In another bowl combine miracle whip, mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, paprika and pepper.  After the potatoes are cooled, gently fold them with the other ingredients. Add dressing. If it seems to be too dry for you, add more miracle whip.  Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Delicious Dinner Rolls

Here is my favorite dinner roll recipe. Pin It

Dinner Rolls

1 C. Hot Water (microwave water for 1 1/2 minutes to get it very hot)
2 C. Milk (also microwaved for 1 1/2 minutes or scald on stove top)
1/2 C. Sugar
1 Cube Margarine

Slice margarine into small slices and put in mixer (I use a Bosch mixer. It's wonderful). Add hot water and scalded milk. Add sugar. Let margarine melt and temperature to cool down a bit (don't let it get too cold).

Then add:

2 Eggs
1 Tbsp. Salt
1/3 C. Vital Gluten
2 Tbsp. Dough Enhancer 
1 Tbsp. Yeast
Enough Flour to make dough

Add the eggs, salt, vital gluten and dough enhancer. Next add three cups of flour and put the yeast on top of the flour.  I use Saf yeast. It is wonderful and makes the dough rise every time. Also make sure you use dough enhancer and vital gluten. It helps your yeast work better and keeps your bread moist and less crumbly.

Turn on your mixer. Add a cup of flour at a time (or less) until the dough starts to pull away from the sides. It should look something like this:

 When the dough clears the sides of the bowl and is not too sticky let it mix for 6 minutes in the Bosch. Let rise until double.

Grease pans and form rolls.  To form the rolls, pull all the corners of the dough down and pinch off the bottom. Like so:

 I like to cook my rolls in a glass pyrex pan because it tends to make the rolls crispier on the sides and cooked through.

Let rolls rise again.

Bake at 375 degrees for 18-22 minutes (for me it's 18 minutes by my stove tends to cook 2-4 minutes faster than the recipe calls for). When done brush tops with butter and then turn upside down on a clean kitchen towel to cool.
