Instructions

Sweet Restaurant Slaw

  1. Combine the cabbage, carrots and onion in a large bowl.
  2. Whisk together the salad dressing, vegetable oil, sugar, vinegar, and celery salt in a medium bowl; blend thoroughly. Pour dressing mixture over coleslaw mix and toss to coat.
  3. Chill at least 2 hours before serving; chilling overnight is even better.

  1. Wash thyme and chop.
  2. Wash potatoes and cut into wedges.
  3. Mix both with oil and chili.
  4. Lay out potato wedges on a baking tray lined with baking paper or aluminum foil and then salt wedges.
  5. Bake for about 50 minutes at 350°F (175°C), until they begin to brown a little.

Notes

In addition to the super yummy coleslaw, I also tried a new, very simple recipe for fries which I am pretty sure I’ll be using a lot in the future. I found it in a magazine that I’ve never seen before here in Germany called “Lecker” (which means “tasty” or “delicious” in English). It’s basically just a bunch of recipes and a few decorating ideas thrown in as well. I have tried a few recipes from it already and although I wasn’t too impressed with the first one (it was a bit bland and will be spiced up next time around which is when I will finally share it with you!), I thought this one was really quite good! They actually put cherry tomatoes in for the last 5 minutes of baking but with all the other stuff, we figured the tomatoes wouldn’t really blend too well.
