okay, i have 3 version of potato salad:
1. similar to harveys. my mom mixes together:
cold cubed potatoes (sorry seek, has to be cold)..if you let em cool at room temp they don't turn black btw.
hard boiled eggs chopped
onions
miracle whip
salt and pepper
(i also add celery)

cheese and bacon potatoe salad. (this stuff rocks)
cube potatoes while hot
add grated cheddar so it'll melt.
chopped crisp bacon
chopped boiled eggs
chopped green onions or chives
salt and pepper.
miracle whip.
a tsp or so of mustard.

and a really creamy one:
you make home made french dressing (1/4 c). (all it is, is vinegar, oil, salt, pepper paprika). anyway, you marinade the cold cubed potatoes in it for 20 mins. then add onions, celery miracle whip (or mayo). no eggs in this one, you can garnish them on the side tho.



ok, let me find it

SOFT GIANT PRETZELS (BREAD MACHINE)

1 1/8 C water ( 70-80 degrees F)
3 c all-purpose flour
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

2 quarts water
1/2 c baking soda
coarse salt

1. In bread machine place first 4 ingredients as recommended by manufacturer. Select dough setting. check dough after 5 mins of mixing, and add 1-2 tbsp flour or water if needed.

2. when cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 8 balls. Roll ea into a 20" long rope, and form into a pretzel shape *** In a sauce pan bring water and baking soda to a boil. Drop pretzels in water 2 at a time for 10-15 secs. drain on paper towel.

3. Place pretzels on greased baking sheets. Bake at 425 F for 8-10 mins or until golden brown. Spritz or lightly brush with water, and sprinkle with salt.

*** to make a pretzel shape, think of how you fold your arms across your chest and one hand goes over one arm, the other hand is underneath the opposite arm. monks made pretzels to represent praying arms so if you think of that you'll always make them right.

these are really good dipped in honey mustard

i also have a recipe here for bagels
