Potsies White Trash Trinity Recipes

POTSIE'S WHITE TRASH TRINITY

Steps:

• Pour oil into a skillet with a tight fitting lid (preferably cast iron but go with what you have)and then add potatoes, onion, and okra and toss.
• Heat your skillet (with all of the ingredients) over medium high heat.
• Sprinkle with garlic powder and a generous amount of pepper. Save salt for later(Salting potatoes makes them "sweat". Just like eggplant. You don't want them to do that while trying to brown them -- it will increase your cooking time.).
• Cover skillet with a tight fitting lid and cook over a medium high heat until potatoes are steamed soft, stirring about every 5 minutes. Don't use a high heat YET -- you are not trying to brown the potatoes yet just get them soft.
• They should be soft in about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of your cubed potatoes. I like to cube mine relatively small- I think the end result is a better texture. (For me, anyway).
• After potatoes are soft, remove the lid (and don't recover anymore) and turn the heat up to brown the potatoes. I usually only turn them two or three times because I like some of them browned and other ones still soft.
• When browned to your liking remove from skillet and salt to your taste.
• Serve with ketchup if you must but a creamy white gravy is better.

POTSIE'S WHITE TRASH DIRTY MARTINI

• For best results and taste keep vodka in the freezer.
• Pour 1/4 oz of vermouth into a frozen martini glass and swirl it around til the inside of the glass has been coated. Discard vermouth.
• Combine vodka and brine in a cold shaker glass with ice and shake vigorously.
• Strain into the cold martini glass swirled with vermouth.
• Place pickled okra pod into glass.
• Don't forget to eat the drunken okra pod after you have finished the drink!
• Repeat steps 2-6 as often as needed.
