Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse in cold water and pat dry.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the buttermilk into another shallow bowl.
Dip each potato cube into the buttermilk, then coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture. Place the coated potatoes on a plate and repeat with all cubes.
Carefully place the coated potatoes into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried potatoes from the oil, transferring them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt until smooth.
Add the chopped parsley, dill, and sliced green onions to the dressing. Stir to combine.
Once the fried potatoes have cooled slightly, gently toss them in the prepared dressing until evenly coated.
Serve the deep-fried potato salad immediately as a warm side dish, or chill it in the fridge for a unique cold potato salad experience.
