Amish Potato Salad Yield: 4 servings Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time:25 minutes Chill Time:1 hour Total Time:1 hour 55 minutes Sweet and creamy Amish Potato Salad is similar to Walmart’s Amish Potato Salad with a tangy dressing made of mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, and smoked paprika. Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (roughly 4-5 potatoes) 1/2 cup mayonnaise* 2 tablespoons yellow mustard 2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika plus more for dusting 1/2 teaspoon salt (preferably kosher) 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped 1 carrot, peeled and grated 1 rib celery, chopped 1/4 cup diced white or yellow onion Instructions Add the potatoes and a handful of salt to a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to a simmer and cook until fork tender, about 5-8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Spread in a single layer onto a baking sheet to dry. Cool for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, paprika, and salt. Add the potatoes, carrots, eggs, celery, and onion. Mix everything together until coated with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until cold (24 hours is preferred to allow the flavors to develop). Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Notes I highly recommend using real mayonnaise, but if you prefer the taste of Miracle Whip, you can use that instead. Please note Miracle Whip is a bit sweeter than mayo, so you may need to taste and adjust the sugar. Source: Simply Stacie ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Smoked Baby Back Ribs Tender ribs that are smoked to perfection! We baste these in a bourbon bbq sauce for loads of flavor. CourseMain Course CuisineAmerican Prep Time15minutes minutes Cook Time4hours hours 30minutes minutes Marinade1day day Total Time1day day 4hours hours 45minutes minutes 开云体育s4 Calories773kcal AuthorKarly Campbell Equipment Smoker Ingredients 2 racks baby back ribs 2 tablespoons salt 4 teaspoons ground black pepper 4 teaspoons garlic powder 1 cup Bourbon BBQ Sauce Instructions Combine the salt, pepper, and garlic powder and sprinkle liberally over both sides of the ribs. For the best flavor, allow ribs to marinate in the fridge overnight. This step is not necessary, but does make for more flavorful ribs. Fill the water pot in the smoker with water and stock the smoker with wood. We prefer cherry wood for ribs, but use whatever type you prefer. Bring smoker to 250 degrees. Smoke the ribs for about 3 hours or until they reach an internal temperature of 175 degrees. Make sure to check the water level and wood every 45-60 minutes. Remove the ribs and place them on a large sheet of butcher paper or aluminum foil. Brush both sides liberally with the bourbon BBQ sauce and wrap tightly in the paper. Return the wrapped ribs to the smoker and continue to cook for one hour or until the ribs are around 190 degrees. Unwrap and apply more BBQ sauce to the ribs. Continue cooking, unwrapped, until the ribs reach 195-203 degrees, about 30 more minutes. Carefully remove the ribs from the smoker and let rest for 15 minutes before serving. Notes This recipe is easily increased. Make as many racks of ribs as you need and increase the seasoning accordingly. We count on one rack of baby back ribs serving 2 people. The times are just an estimate. Depending on the temperature and wind outside, you may need more or less cook time. Keep an eye on the temperature of the meat for the most accuracy.
