Description

This Crispy Fried Potato Salad offers a delightful twist on the traditional potato salad by incorporating a crunchy texture from frying while maintaining a creamy, tangy dressing. It combines tender boiled potatoes with a mix of fresh celery, green onions, and pickles, all tossed in a flavorful mayonnaise and mustard dressing. Perfect as a side dish or a light meal, it’s versatile served warm or cold.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds potatoes, diced

Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Other Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup pickles, chopped
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Boil Potatoes: Boil the diced potatoes in salted water until they are tender but still hold their shape, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool completely to prevent the mayonnaise dressing from breaking down.
  2. Prepare Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to create a smooth, tangy dressing that complements the potatoes.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the cooled boiled potatoes, chopped celery, sliced green onions, and chopped pickles into the dressing, ensuring the mixture is evenly coated without mashing the potatoes.
  4. Fry Salad Mixture: Heat an adequate amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully fry the potato salad mixture in batches, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes develop a crispy golden crust, approximately 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain excess oil on paper towels if desired.
  5. Serve: Serve the crispy fried potato salad warm for the best texture and flavor, or chill for a refreshing cold salad experience. Adjust seasoning before serving as needed.

Notes

  • Adjust seasoning to your taste preference for salt and pepper.
  • For an extra crunchy texture, fry the potatoes a little longer but avoid burning.
  • This salad can be prepared a day ahead to allow flavors to meld together beautifully.
