Hello Nancy,
I could not locate anything called "yellow potatoes", but by searching for
"mashed potato salad", I found the below recipe.
Phaed
Mashed Potato Salad
6 medium potatoes
6 eggs
1 medium white onion diced
2 to 3 large sweet pickles
1/2 C. diced celery
1 C. mayonnaise
1 T. prepared mustard
1/2 t. salt
1/3 C. liquid from sweet pickles
salt and pepper to taste
Peel and boil potatoes. Hard boil eggs. Dice onion, celery and pickles.
Roughly chop the hard boiled eggs. Reserve 1 egg for garnish.
Mash potatoes while hot and add diced hard boiled eggs, onions, celery, salt
and pepper. Mix mayonnaise, mustard and pickle juice in separate bowl (be
sure this mixture is quite thin). Pour over hot potato mixture and stir.
Garnish with cut up egg and paprika. Chill.

Hi Melissa,
See below.
Phaed
Chi-Chi's Mexican "Fried" Ice Cream
Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Copycat Desserts
Ethnic Mexican
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 6-inch flour tortilla
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup cornflake crumbs
2 large scoops vanilla ice cream
1 can whipped cream
2 maraschino cherries with stems
Prepare each tortilla by frying it in the hot oil in a frying pan over
medium/high heat. Fry each side of the tortilla for about 1 minute until
crispy. Drain the tortillas on paper towels.
Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over both sides of the fried
tortillas, coating evenly. Not all of the sugar mixture will stick
to the tortillas, and that's okay.
Combine the other half of the cinnamon mixture with the cornflake crumbs in
another small bowl. Pour the cornflake mixture into a wide, shallow bowl or
onto a plate.
Place a large scoop of ice cream in the cornflake crumbs, and with your
hands roll the ice cream around until the entire surface is evenly coated with
cornflake crumbs. You should not be able to see the ice cream.
Place the ice cream scoop on the center of a cinnamon/sugar-coated tortilla.
Spray whipped cream around the base of the ice cream. Spray an additional
pile of cream on top of the ice cream.
Put a cherry in the top pile of whipped cream. Repeat for the remaining
scoop of ice cream. Serve with a side dish of honey, chocolate syrup, or
strawberry topping, if desired.

Hi Margie,
Lots of people are looking for this one. No one claims to have come up with
an exact copy yet. Below are three to try.
Phaed
Citrus Dressing
1/2 c. light oil (maybe canola)
1Tbl. fresh orange juice
1 Tbl. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. finely minced fresh ginger
1 Tbl. orange zest
1 sliced scallion
Mix well. Blend together. Set aside.
----------------------------
Orange Vinaigrette
1 c. fresh orange juice
2 Tbl. chopped red onion
2 Tbl. fresh lime juice
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. Ancho chile powder
1 Tbl. red wine vinegar
1/2 c. olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
In a saucepan over high heat, reduce the orange juice until it forms a
ayrup. Let the syrup cool slightly.
In a blender, combine the orange syrup, onion, lime juice, mustard, chile
powder and vinegar. Blend for 30 seconds. With the blender running, slowly
add the olive oil until the dressing emulsifies. Season to taste with salt
and pepper. May be prepared 1 day ahead of time and refrigerated. Bring to
room temperature before serving.
-----------------------------------------
Toasted Paprika Orange Vinaigrette
1 Tbl. paprika, toasted
2 c. fresh orange juice, reduced to 1/4 cup
1/4 c. sherry vinegar
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 c. olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Heat a pan and add paprika, cook 1 minute. Remove and set aside. In small
saucepan over high heat, reduce orange juice to a syrup. Place paprika,
reduced orange juice, vinegar and mustard in a blender and blend until
smooth. With the motor running, slowly add oil until emulsified. Season with
salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle over grilled fish.

Hello JC,
I could not locate such a recipe, but you can buy this candy online at these
websites:
Vermont Country Store
Candy 4 U
McKandy.com
Discount Candy
JC, if you do find a recipe for making these at home, please send it to me.
I'm kind of green about candy-making, and I'm curious to see how a filled
hard candy could be made in one's kitchen, without the molds and equipment
that candy manufacturers use.
