Front Porch Conversations: Ramp recipes wanted

Anyone have any good/different ramp recipes? I made ramps with scrambled eggs and bacon. I have looked online, but I really want family based West Virginia ramp recipes. 

Welcome to our front porch!

April is the peak season for ramps, and we love them, too! No doubt many of us are getting a mess of them right now. 

While this is by no means an accurate recipe, because nothing is ever measured, a tradition for one of us at RealWV is to make a fried potato, bacon and ramp dinner. 

Step one: Fry bacon slices in a pan and save the grease. 

Step two: Peel and dice four to five Russet potatoes and add them to the hot bacon grease in the pan. Cover and cook about 10 minutes (give or take) on medium/high. Don’t stir them too much. Let them get a little crispy. Take the cover off and cook about five more minutes.

Step three: Add ramps to the potatoes and cook about five more minutes until the ramps are wilted. Season with salt and pepper. 

Step four: Drain on a paper towel. 

We also make cornbread (either boxed Jiffy or Krusteaz honey cornbread mix) to go with the ramps and fried potatoes. The bacon is on the side.

We would love to hear about how others cook ramps. Please share your recipes if you can!
