Answer 2

My best recipe is Potato Salad



Old Fashioned Potato Salad


5 lbs. all purpose potatoes

l large onion - peeled and diced

2 cups (or more) Hellmann's Mayonnaise

l/4 cup vinegar

l/4 cup oil

l/2 teaspoon dry mustard

3 or 4 hard boiled eggs chopped

2 stalks celery - diced

2 tablespoons parsley - chopped

salt and pepper

paprika

Optional: l/2 cup sweet pickle relish














Boil potatoes in their skins until soft and you can pierce them with a fork.

While potatoes are boiling - dice
up the onion, celery, chop the parsely and hard-boil the eggs.

Note: For boiled eggs, put the eggs in a pan with cold water and bring to a boil. As soon as they boil, shut off the heat, cover and let stand 18 minutes and they are done. Immediately run them under cold water and the skins will slip right off!

When potatoes are done, cool them awhile and then peel them. Put them into a pot and pour over the vinegar and oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.

Add the chopped parsley, diced celery, diced onion, relish, dry mustard, chopped hard-boiled eggs and the Mayonnaise.

Mix thoroughly. If too dry add more Mayo.

Arrange nicely in a pan and garnish with parsley and sprinkle with paprika.

Preparation Time: 30 minutes plus cooking of potatoes Serves: A crowd

Main dish? I would go with macaroni and cheese- or possibly sloppy joes or chili- something that goes a long way for alot of people that doesnt cost a fortune! Or u could always pick up a 16 pc bucket at KFC too! Deserts: Brownies r always a winner-

For a main dish, I would bring either Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tenders or my specialty Cheesy Stuffed Meatloaf. MMMMM

For dessert, it's a toss up between a homemade cheesecake or homemade brownies with frosting! mmmmmmm

Answer 5

Is it a fancy party or a casual party? If it is a casual party, for a main dish, just go buy KFC Chicken in a bucket. I promise, it will be eaten up fast by everyone there....always a popular favorite. If it is a dress up party, Just do something easy (unless you love cooking). I suggest some kind of pasta...most everyone loves pasta. Go to Http://www.foodnetwork.com or http://www.rachaelraymag.com for recipe ideas. Have fun!
