Blonde salad with ham

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Blonde salad with ham? Products for cooking. Peel and wash potatoes, garlic. I took medium-sized tomatoes, doused them with boiling water, then easily peeled them off (you can take cherry tomatoes).

2. STEP 2

   

   Grate the potatoes on a Korean carrot grater (You can cut them into thin long cubes, but on a Korean grater it’s still more beautiful, more spectacular). Before deep-frying potatoes, fill them with cold water, rinse them from excess starch, and dry them on paper napkins.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a wok or cauldron, deep-fry the potatoes in batches (I got 4) until golden brown. These potatoes brown quite quickly, so there is a risk of overcooking them. Monitor its frying, stir in time with a spatula.

4. STEP 4

   

   Make the sauce: mix mayonnaise and sour cream in equal proportions, squeeze out the garlic, add ground black pepper to taste.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place deep-fried potatoes on paper towels. The napkins will absorb excess fat.

6. STEP 6

   

   Meanwhile, cut the ham into cubes and grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater.

7. STEP 7

   

   If you have cherry tomatoes, just cut them in half. If you have regular tomatoes, cut them into slices. We will place the salad on the dish in layers, coating each layer with sauce. Place the tomatoes on a plate. This will be the first layer of salad.

8. STEP 8

   

   Brush the sauce over the tomatoes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then: layer of ham-sauce-layer of cheese-sauce.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place French fries on top of the salad and make the final touch: decorate our Blonde’s “hairstyle” with a flower made from a cucumber-tomato and green onion feathers. So that the “Blonde with Ham” salad is well soaked, let it stand in the refrigerator for 30–40 minutes. Now let’s try it. Bon appetit!

An interesting recipe, one like this doesn’t come around very often. The ingredients seem simple, but the way the potatoes are prepared gives this salad a special twist. It’s a pity that I don’t have deep fryer (but maybe I’ll try to fry the potatoes in a frying pan with a lot of oil.

Sabina, thanks for the comment! This salad is truly unusual and original. Once you try it, you will be convinced of this for yourself. You can actually cook these potatoes in a deep frying pan. I think it will turn out well. And if you grate the potatoes using a Korean grater, it will turn out just great! I wish you success!
