This recipe began with leftover fried potatoes I had on hand. We liked it so much that now I fry potatoes just to make this unique potato salad. Sometimes I add grated sharp cheddar for a cheesy twist. -Leann Stallard, Dryden, Virginia

FRENCH FRIED POTATO SALAD



French Fried Potato Salad image

We ran out of potatoes one lazy Saturday, and potato salad was just the thing we needed to go with our grilled hamburgers. Turns out we had lots of French fries on hand in the freezer--so I baked up a batch and dressed them using my traditional recipe. The potato salad turned out so good, I've been making it with French fries since then.

FRIED GERMAN POTATO SALAD

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 Yukon gold potatoes, medium size, cut into large dice
8 ounces thick sliced bacon, cut into pieces
Canola oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 red onion, diced
2 tablespoons capers, drained
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Put diced potatoes into a pot and fill with cold water (water should just cover the potatoes). Put pot on stove on medium flame and add salt. When water comes to a boil, and the potatoes are cooked, drain the potatoes and spread out on a side towel to dry.
  • While potatoes are doing their thing, add bacon to a large saute pan and cook over a low/medium flame. When the bacon is cooked remove with a slotted spoon and drain the bacon fat, reserving some if you want to add it later. Wipe out the pan with a wad of paper towels (and crank up the heat), add a decent amount of a neutral oil, like canola, and heat it until you get some smoke.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potatoes and shake the pan a couple of times to make sure nothing sticks. Lower the heat a little and let the potatoes brown. Season with salt and pepper.
  • After a few minutes, shake the pan and get the other sides going. When the potatoes are almost completely cooked, add the red onion and let everything cook together. Once the onions are caramelized, add the capers, red wine vinegar and deglaze. When the vinegar is mostly evaporated, add the extra-virgin olive oil, mustard and bacon (and reserved bacon fat if you want), re-season with lots of cracked black pepper. Serve warm.

SOUTHERN FRIED POTATO SALAD



Southern Fried Potato Salad image

Just a twist on regular potato salad...frying the potatoes instead of boiling them. I know I should be ashamed of myself. Homemade fries are better (just chop potatoes and fry in whatever oil you have until crispy) but you can also use frozen. Also, you can peel the potatoes if you prefer.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better when fried, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will help remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
  • Fry the potatoes in hot oil: This will create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Frying the potatoes in batches will prevent them from steaming and becoming soggy.
  • Season the potatoes while they're hot: This will help the seasonings adhere to the potatoes.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will weigh down the potato salad and make it less refreshing.
  • Chill the potato salad before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and will make the potato salad easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Deep-fried potato salad is a delicious and unique twist on a classic dish. By following these tips, you can make sure your potato salad is crispy, flavorful, and refreshing. Whether you're serving it at a picnic, potluck, or backyard barbecue, this dish is sure to be a hit.
