Cook: 40 mins
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Potatoes – 6-8 pcs. (400 g)
- Smoked chicken – 300 g
- Pickled cucumbers – 2-3 pcs. (200 g)
- Quail eggs – 10-12 pcs.
- Mayonnaise – 3 tbsp
- Fresh dill – 3-4 branches
- Vegetable oil – 200 ml
- Salt to taste
Directions
- Prepare all ingredients. Wash the potatoes and herbs.
- Pour quail eggs with cold water and boil for 4-5 minutes after boiling. Then transfer to cold water and cool.
- Boil half of the potatoes in the skins until tender. Depending on the type of potato, this takes 15-20 minutes after boiling. Then cool the potatoes completely.
- Peel the quail eggs. Peel the potatoes as well.
- Set aside 4-5 eggs to decorate the salad, cut the rest into cubes. Cut the boiled potatoes into small cubes.
- Cut the pickles and smoked chicken into cubes the same size as the rest of the ingredients.
- Combine smoked chicken, eggs, cucumbers and potato cubes in a deep bowl and season with salt.
- Add mayonnaise, mix all ingredients. Place the salad bowl in the refrigerator to cool.
- Cook fried potatoes to garnish the salad. To do this, peel the remaining potatoes and grate with a Korean carrot grater or finely chop into thin strips.
- Place the potato strips on a paper or cloth towel to absorb the excess liquid so the potatoes are crispy.
- Heat 100 ml vegetable oil in a skillet. Fry the potatoes in small portions in hot oil until golden brown.
- Carefully, do not overcook the potatoes – thin strips are fried very quickly, just a few minutes is enough. Remove the potatoes from the oil with a slotted spoon and fry the next batch.
- Put the fried potatoes on a plate lined with a paper towel – it will absorb the excess vegetable oil.
- Transfer the chilled salad to a plate. Make a small indentation to form a nest.
- Place potato strips on top and sides of the ring.
- Chop the dill finely. Place the dill and the remaining whole quail eggs in the center of the nest.
- Salad “Capercaillie’s Nest” with smoked chicken is ready. Serve it immediately to keep the potatoes crisp.
