Dutch Lettuce Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Make the Mashed Potatoes: Cook the potatoes until tender. While the potatoes are cooking, heat up the cream. Add the butter and stir until melted. Add the cream and butter to the hot potatoes and mash. Season to taste. Make the Dressing: Brown bacon in a frying pan. Remove bacon and pat dry. When cooled slightly, crumble the bacon into small pieces. Add vinegar, sugar, and water to the pan with the bacon fat. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Make the Salad: Combine the lettuce, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, and scallions. Top with the hot dressing and stir until the lettuce wilts. Serve immediately with the wilted lettuce over mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• 1. In a large serving bowl, tear lettuce into bite size pieces. Set aside.
• 2. Cook the bacon in a 10-inch non-stick skillet. Remove bacon from skillet when cooked and set aside. Do not discard bacon fat. You will be using it to complete the cooked dressing.
• 3. In a medium bowl, combine the egg, sugar, flour, water, vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well and add to skillet with bacon fat. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 4-5 minutes or until dressing thickens and is hot and bubbly. Crumble bacon and add to skillet. Mix well.
• 4. Pour hot dressing over lettuce and toss to coat.
