Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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

Instructions
For the cake:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 12 cup bundt pan and cover sides and bottom with pecans. In a medium bowl stir together flour, pudding mix, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  2. Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar. Stir in vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, water and rum. Gradually add in flour mixture and blend until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and toffee bits. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan. Bake for 50 to 50 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool slightly before adding 1/2 the glaze mixture, then cool completely before inverting.
For the Glaze:
  1. Mix all ingredients together except the rum and cook on low heat until dissolved, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add rum. Pour 1/2 of the mixture into slighly cooled cake before inverting. Remove cake from pan and pour remaining glaze slowly over turned out cake. Dust with powdered sugar.
Recipe Notes

Before glazing, poke the cake all over with a toothpick to allow the glaze to be more easily absorbed. If you find the cake starting to crack while baking, turn the oven temperature down to 325 degrees and continue cooking until cake tester comes out clean. For a short cut to this recipe, eliminate the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the cake ingredients and substitute yellow cake mix.

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place 2 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in a bowl and cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until the butter is the size of peas.
  2. Combine the buttermilk and egg in a small measuring cup and beat lightly with a fork. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix only until moistened. Fold the cheese and jalapeno pepper into the dough. Mix only until roughly combined. Dump out onto a well-floured board and knead lightly about 6 times. Roll the dough out to about an inch thick. With a 3 to 4 inch round cookie cutter, cut the dough. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with salt.
  3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the biscuits are cooked through. Serve hot or warm.
Recipe Notes

Add crumbled bacon to dough for a smoky flavor. Biscuits can be used with fried chicken, for breakfast with sausage gravy, or you can make great sandwiches with them by filling them with your favorite lunch meat. © Galley Chef All Rights Reserved
