This recipe is chock full of walnuts and brown sugar but you can also use a variety of other ingredients such as cream cheese and jam or pecans and cinnamon.

Cut slices about 4 inches long into the sides of the rectangle at 1/2 inch intervals. Add the filling all the way down the center. Fold each 1/2 inch wide strip towards the center, crisscrossing the filling in a braid-like fashion. Sprinkle with the remaining walnuts. Twist the entire Kringle into a circular shape. Place onto the cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes. It will come out all gooey and bubbly with sugar running out of it everywhere and you will think you have a disaster on your hands, but it's not, to be sure. Transfer onto a clean plate and let cool for 30 minutes

While the Kringle is cooling, mix together the confectioner's sugar and water and drizzle over the top of the warm danish.

Mom's Famous Potato Salad
A creamy, rich potato salad with a secret ingredient that causes an explosion of flavor.
Instructions
Cover the potatoes with water and cook on medium until just tender - 35-40 minutes. Do not peel the potatoes and do not over-cook or they get watery. Drain right away and let cool.
Meanwhile, cover the eggs with water, add the vinegar and cook on medium heat until they come to a boil. Low heat to medium-low and continue cooking 7 minutes. Plunge into cold water, cool, peel and finely chop in a food processor and put them into a large bowl.
Finely chop the onion and celery in a food processor and add to eggs. Peel and chop potatoes into 1/2 inch pieces and add to the eggs, celery and onion mixture. Add the mayonnaise, celery seed, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir and refrigerate.
Recipe Notes
If you don't use Hellman's mayonnaise it won't taste the same. Adding vinegar to the water you cook the eggs in, changes the PH of the water so that the shells come off easier. © Galley Chef All Rights Reserved
