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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of red and white potatoes for a colorful and flavorful salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, but not mushy. You want them to hold their shape when you fry them.
  • Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before frying. This will help them develop a delicious flavor.
  • Fry the potatoes in a large skillet over medium heat. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the potatoes will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 10 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  • While the potatoes are frying, make the dressing. Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, celery seeds, and mustard.
  • Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, add them to a large bowl and pour the dressing over them. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
