Kentucky Spoon Bread - Traditional Southern Recipe

white cornmeal

eggs

butter (melted)

baking powder

salt

Heat milk in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a rolling boil, then add cornmeal and whisk constantly for about 2 minutes until it is so thick you can’t whisk it.

Remove to the bowl of an electric mixer and place in the refrigerator to cool for 30 minutes. It should not be hot to the touch and it will be very thick.

Preheat the oven to 350º. Butter a casserole dish.

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs together and add to the cooled cornmeal mixture. Add melted butter, baking powder, and salt. Mix on medium-high speed with your electric mixer for 10 minutes until it is smooth, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl.

Scoop into the prepared casserole dish. Bake for 30 minutes until it is slightly browned on top, and the center is set.

The Best Soul Food Potato Salad

vegetable broth (to boil potatoes)

potatoes

mayo

yellow mustard

sweet relish

white onions (diced small)

garlic powder

paprika (extra for garnish, optional)

Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Chives (for garnish, optional)

Wash, peel and cube potatoes. Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cool water as you cut them to prevent them from turning brown.

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and add vegetable broth (about 4 cups or just enough to cover potatoes) and place the pot over medium-high heat. Bring the water to a boil then reduce the heat to simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20  minutes. Test the potatoes with a toothpick for tenderness.

Drain the potatoes and let them cool for 20 - 25 minutes. After about 10 minutes, you can even place them in the fridge to help cool them down.

While potatoes are cooling, boil and peel the eggs. Once cool enough to handle, dice the eggs into a large bowl.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, sweet relish, onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt and ground black pepper. Place the dressing in the fridge to chill until ready to use.

Add the cooled potatoes to the large bowl with the diced eggs and pour the dressing over top. Gently fold the potatoes and eggs into the dressing just until combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.

Place the potato salad in a large dish and garnish the top with paprika and chives if desired. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
