What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Yukon golds boiled with butter, ketchup, hot sauce, and spices make a yummy side dish to get your BBQ fix when you don't feel like firing up the grill.
5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes chopped into bite size pieces
1 cup ketchup (more it desired to make broth red)
2 tablespoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons black pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 cup butter
Combine all ingredients into a large stock pot. Cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender (about an hour or so). Do not over-cook or potatoes will get mushy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
You can make these ahead of time and refrigerate overnight to absorb the spice. Just heat and serve the next day.

To bring out the BBQ flavor, you can add a tablespoon of smoked paprika or a splash of liquid smoke.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix in a slurry of cornstarch and water near the end of cooking.
To make the potatoes more tangy, squeeze in some lemon juice or add a splash of apple cider vinegar.
Remember to stir occasionally while simmering to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Yukon Gold potatoes work well due to their texture and flavor, but you can use other varieties like red potatoes or Russet potatoes.
You can control the heat by adjusting the amount of hot sauce and crushed red pepper. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
You can reduce the amount of ketchup or increase the number of potatoes for a less saucy texture.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in a microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

This is my go to recipe for boiled potatoes. We have several BBQ restaurants in our area that make similar boiled potatoes, but they cannot compete with this one! I cook 10 lbs for our homecoming. No leftovers! Easy to prepare.....make sure you use real butter....Yummy!
