While visiting friends on St. Simons Island I had the pleasure to have dinner with some of my closest friends and neighbors. We are all into preparing good, fresh food and enjoying a great time together. I’m featuring a sauce today that has many uses. I first tasted it when it was used to baste grilled chicken and then served on the side for those who wanted more. It is simple to prepare and so delicious. It would be delicious with pork tenderloin or grilled fish as well. I actually ate a spoonful of it and loved the flavors as they popped in my mouth. Toss a mixed green salad and you’ve got a great meal. Scroll down and see what I served with this as well! Yum!
WHITE SAUCE PIQUANT
2 cups good mayonnaise (I like Blue Plate)
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup apple juice
2 teaspoons horseradish
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and seal tightly. You can use this as a marinade, to baste grilled meat as well as a sauce on the side. It keeps for two weeks when sealed and refrigerated.
PARMESAN STACKED POTATOES
I saw a recipe for Parmesan Stacked Potatoes and knew they would be the perfect accompaniment to the grilled chicken I served with the white sauce. This is easy and delicious!
6 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Slice the potatoes thinly with a mandolin or a very sharp knife. Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and toss with the butter, salt, pepper, garlic and cheese. Grease a muffin tin that makes larger muffins. Stack the sliced potatoes in each muffin space, filling to the top, bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour. Remove from the muffin tins and place on a pan lined with parchment paper. Broil on medium until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp. Garnish with chopped parsley or fresh thyme and serve.

Hi Melissa! Sure wish you would still be at SSI when we visit. I enjoyed our talks!! The recipes sound fantastic. I love the sauce idea — something small like a sauce can make all of the difference. I’ve seen the stacked potatoes and been wanting to make them — we’ll do that when we return home. Hope you had a great visit!!
