Summer 2013 Cooking Series: Favorite Recipe 2

"Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, 

thereby putting an end to the very essence of life contained in them."

One of my favorite pictures aesthically, this is the Nassau, Bahamas courthouse.

     Over this wonderful world that we live in and on, there are a number of places that stick in my mind as "Favorite Spots".  Among this personally prestigious list is the public park of the Nassau, Bahamas business district.  Under the colorful canopy of vegetation, a watcher can spot locals and tourists alike enjoying a break from the tropical sun.  Stroll along with me, if you will...

     In honor of one of my "Favorite Spots", I offer a recipe perfect for summer, collected while visiting the Bahamas in 2012...

Bahamian Potato Salad

1 1/2 lbs. potatoes, peeled

3 lg. eggs, hard-boiled

1/2 onion, diced

1/2 green pepper, diced

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tbs. yellow mustard

2 tbs. dill relish

1 small finger pepper, chopped  (or a dash of hot sauce)

salt and pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:  Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat to medium-low and boil for 8-10 minutes, until just tender.  Drain the potatoes and cool completely.

     Put the cooked potatoes into a large bowl with onion and green pepper.  Chop and add the peeled eggs. Chill.

     Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, dill relish, and hot pepper (or dash of hot sauce).  Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

     Gently fold the mayo-mixture into the bowl of potatoes.  Blend well to coat the potatoes.  Enjoy mon!
