Tasty Tuesday 1: Dilled New Potato Salad

One thing you're going to learn about me, is I adore Gooseberry Patch. If you're coming over from here, you know it! I'm going to post recipes from Gooseberry Patch...well weekly. While in college, nearly 13 years ago, I bought my first Gooseberry Patch Cookbook. I was a freshman in college. Had almost no knowledge in cooking. And was wondering my local Jo-Ann Fabric Store carried cookbooks. After all, I was there to buy some crafting supplies. :)

It's been a sweet love affair ever since! One that has grown over time. This sweet guy, well he's added so much fuel to this fire. I've literally got cabinets full of Gooseberry Patch Cookbooks! So let's talk about our first Gooseberry Patch Free Recipe of the Week.



Dilled New Potato Salad




2 lbs. new potatoes, cut into wedges
10-oz. pkg. frozen petite sweet peas, thawed and drained
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1/2 c. plain yogurt
1 sweet onion, chopped
3 T. fresh dill, minced
1 T. Dijon mustard
1 t. garlic salt
1/4 t. pepper

 
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, cover potatoes with water. Cook for 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and add peas. In a large bowl, stir together remaining ingredients. Add potato mixture; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Serves 8.



If you're anything like me, you like to spice up the "regulars." It's nearly the 4th of July. And I'm looking for something to add to our BBQ regulars. We've decided to keep it "low-key" this year. Having just a few friends and family over. My Dad has been sick. And we're really not up to a "Big 'ol Bash" this year.

It's been a tough 6 months or so. They first time, in a very long time, that I'm not traveling across the country for the 4th. The first 4th of July, in I don't know how long, that I've been home. And I'm pretty excited to enjoy a quite holiday, with the ones I love.

And this recipe, just sounds so yummy. Creamy potato salad, with my favorite peas. A perfect fit for our yummy BBQ. And this cookbook, very soon, will be in my hands. :) ❤
