For the Sentinel
A
t our house we love tra-
dition—especially when
it comes to holidays and food.
The Fourth of July is coming
up and at my age, there’s some-
thing wonderful about knowing
what’s for dinner on that day.
Especially if it’s easy to feed a
crowd picnic food.
Our menu on the Fourth is al-
ways about carbs. There is noth-
ing even remotely healthy about
the meal. (Unless we’re having
hamburgers with lettuce garnish
or I can sneak a veggie into the
potato salad.) It’s one of the few
times of the year that I don’t
have a perfectly balanced meal:
protein, carbs, veggies and fruit.
And no, I don’t feel guilty!
So today’s column will feature
my version of fried chicken, po-
tato salad and baked beans with
the addition of a Colonial favor-
ite. Many years ago I changed
my family’s traditional fried
chicken recipe to be less greasy.
I brown the chicken in a skillet
and fi nish cooking it the oven.
Served hot or cold, everyone
licks the platter clean.
My potato salad recipe kind
of developed over the years. I
prepare the basics the day before
and let them marinate overnight.
The next day I assemble every-
thing including the crunch and
color of a veggie. I still prefer
old-fashioned Best Foods may-
onnaise as a dressing but use it
sparingly adding more until the
texture is just right. The baked
beans are also my concoction.
The hardest thing about them is
opening all the cans!
We shouldn’t forget that the
reason for this holiday is the
signing of the Declaration of In-
dependence. So I’m including a
dish that the early American col-
onists were eating around 1776.
Dairy products, eggs and apples
were plentiful. Combined, they
made a light, sweet and tart side
dish. I found this old Apple Tan-
sey recipe on the Colonial Wil-
liamsburg site. Enjoy!
Please have a safe and happy
Fourth of July everyone. And
thank God for the United States
of America!
APPLE TANSEY
3 small apples Pippins or
Granny Smiths
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 large eggs
2 tbsp (6 tsp) heavy whipping
cream
2 tsp rosewater (this can be
omitted)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp sugar
Granulated or powdered sugar
for garnish
Fresh lemon wedges for garnish
Turn on the oven broiler to
high.
Core and slice the apples into
thin slices. Melt the butter in
an oven proof, non-stick skillet
and fry the apple slices turning
frequently until brown. Beat
the eggs with whipping cream,
rosewater, nutmeg and sugar.
Pour over the apples. Let it fry
a little until set on the bot-
tom and put skillet under the
broiler. Turn it onto a large fl at
plate. Garnish with lemon and
powdered sugar. Eat warm like
a colonist!
Betty’s Mostly
Oven-Fried
Chicken
1 whole chicken cut into pieces
(or equivalent)
1 cup fl our
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
Dash pepper
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Add enough oil to a heavy
skillet to coat the bottom about
1/4” deep.
Spray with non-stick coating a
baking dish large enough to fi t
all chicken pieces in a single
layer.
Put fl our and seasonings in a
paper bag. Rinse chicken pieces
and drain on paper towels. Re-
move skin if you like. Place a
few pieces in the fl our mixture
and shake until coated. Set
aside.
Heat the oil in skillet. When
hot, start browning the meaty
pieces of chicken. Turn to
brown evenly on both sides.
Remove and place in bak-
ing dish as chicken browns
(skin side down) and continue
browning all pieces. Place pan
in oven and cook15 min. Turn
pieces skin side up and con-
tinue baking until tender, about
30 min. Serves 6.
Betty’s Potato
Salad
10 medium sized russet, red or
Yukon gold potatoes (see note)
1 small red onion, fi nely
minced
8 celery stems, sliced in moons
8 sweet pickles, diced
Garlic salt and pepper to taste
1/3-1/2 cup Italian dressing
Mayonnaise (about 1-1/2 cups)
5 hard boiled eggs, grated
2 teaspoons garlic salt; dash of
pepper
1 teaspoon dill weed
Optional: 1 cup sliced zucchini,
radishes or shredded carrots
Scrub potatoes, put in large pot,
cover with water and bring to
a boil. Simmer about 1 hour
or until done and skin starts to
crack. Drain, cover with cold
running water until they begin
to cool down. Drain again.
Peel potatoes while warm; if
using red potatoes, leave on
some skin. Dice and place in
large mixing bowl. Add onion,
celery moons, sweet pickles,
garlic salt and pepper. Pour
Italian dressing over all and
mix well. Cover and refrigerate
overnight.
PT, OCS, COMT
The next morning, add a spoon-
ful of sweet pickle juice to
mayonnaise. Pour over potato
mixture and stir lightly. If you
like your salad dry, don’t add
all of the mayo at once. If you
like it wetter, add more mayo.
Fold in veggies. Taste and ad-
just seasonings. Put in serving
bowl, cover with eggs and gar-
nish with Lawry’s season salt.
Note: This recipe serves 8 aver-
age appetites. Adjust amounts
according to number of people
being served. Use one potato
per person plus two extras ‘for
the pot.’ I never like to run out
of food at a picnic or party!
