Fried potato salad



“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.
