Tombstone's Potato Salad

[Tombstone]

Spring is almost here! A great treat for those sleepy warm Summer picnics.

6 chicken drumsticks

Extra virgin olive oil

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

4 large russet potatoes, each about 12 ounces, cut into quarters

6 eggs, hard boiled and roughly chopped

1 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup drained, pitted black olives, finely chopped

1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion (or red)

1/3 cup drained dill relish

1/3 cup drained sweet pickle relish

1/4 cup drained pimentos, finely chopped

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives



Lightly brush or spray the drumsticks with oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill over Indirect Medium heat until the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 40 to 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes: In a large saucepan, add the potatoes, cover with water by 1 inch, and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Cover the saucepan with a lid. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then reduce the heat and simmer, with the lid off, until the potatoes are very tender, about 25 minutes. Drain in a colander and let cool.

When cool enough to handle, pull the skin off the chicken drumsticks and discard. Pull the meat apart into shreds or roughly chop it. Add the chicken to a large mixing bowl. Peel the skin off the potatoes and discard. Roughly chop the potatoes and add them to the mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, including salt and pepper to taste. If not serving right away, cover the salad with plastic wrap and keep cool in the refrigerator.

Makes about 10 cups

Tombstone you and your recipes. You must be one hell of a good cook. Don't want to ruin your sunny day, we are having energy food this evening. One of our steers was recently butchered and we are having his liver. Wait: Saute Sweet Onion in butter, dip liver in flour, fry.

This is not steady practice here to take down landscapers. The kids wanted beef to save on their grocery bill. He dressed out @ 800 lbs. of hamburg, steak, roasts, etc. chemical free beef.

Hi Paula,

I do like to cook. But I don't hold a candle to my wife though.

Sounds great about your new beef! That's the way to go. You are pretty much guaranteed to not have tainted/steroided/antibiotic filled meat. I could use some of your 800 lbs! We had 440 lbs. from a local cow several months ago but my supply is running low. Did enjoy some top sirloin steaks last night though.
