Recipe of Blue Cheese Potato Salad
-----Mix together----- 2 bunches green onions -- washed and chopped 5 stalks celery -- chopped 1/2 cup fresh dill -- chopped 1 cup mayonnaise 1 cup sour cream 2 teaspoons lemon juice Salt and pepper to taste ---Add about----- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese -- to 3/4, and mix well
Let mixture sit overnight (very important), as the blue cheese needs to blend with the dressing. Then, toss dressing with about 5 pounds of cooked, cut potatoes, more salt, and a little vinegar. I use small red potatoes, and then cut them into quarters or sixths if they are larger. I cut them first and then cook them, just until they are done, and then rinse them in cold water to stop cooking. Then I usually toss them with a little vinegar and salt - remember, potatoes SOAK up salt.
