Fried potato salad

Easy

“In every seven colours situation there tends to be a potato salad with a mayonnaise dressing, and I figured it would be cool
to tweak that a little to create something creamy, salty and (neo)classic.” – Khanya Mzongwana

Ingredients

Method
  • 5 large potatoes, peeled
  • sea salt, to taste
  • 4 T Woolworths Wagyu beef fat
  • 2 cups Woolworths double-thick cream
  • 1 large sprig rosemary
  • 150 g Gorgonzola
  • canola oil, for frying
  • 2 leeks, washed and thinly sliced
  • 50 g flour
  • 10 g sage

Method

Ingredients

1. Cut the potatoes into large dice and place in a saucepan. Top with water and add the salt. Bring to a boil and cook until soft but not falling apart. Drain well.

2. Heat the Wagyu fat in a pan and fry the potatoes until golden brown. Season with salt if necessary.

3. Gently heat the cream in a separate saucepan, add the rosemary, then crumble in the Gorgonzola. Stir until the cheese has melted.

4. Heat the oil in a separate pan. Separate the leeks into rings and dust in the flour. Fry the leeks until crispy, stirring gently with a metal slotted spoon. In the same oil, fry the sage leaves for about 10 seconds until crispy.

5. To assemble, place the potatoes on a platter, drizzle with the sauce and scatter over the leeks and sage. Serve warm.
