If you've swapped traditional fried carp for another fish, you might find a less common hot-or-cold option for a festive dinner instead of a classic potato salad.

Salad of crispy potatoes and chestnu
tsCrispy potatoes and chestnuts

For 4 portions we need:

600 g cooked potatoes of type A

200g chestnuts

100g sour cucumbers

3 tablespoons oil

4 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 small onion

Handful of chives

Salt, pepper

How to do it:

1.
Cut the chestnuts on the tip and cook them in soft water (approx. 45 min). Sip the chestnuts, leave to cool and peel. Then cut them into quarters.
Our tip: If you want to save your work, for example, at Marks & Spencer you can buy already prepared cooked peeled chestnuts exactly in 200g pack.

2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into coarse cubes. We put them in a non-stick pan, pour 300 ml of water and place over a strong flame. Stirring occasionally, cook and let all the water evaporate. We dim the flame and add the oil. Slowly fry the potatoes for 15-20 minutes. Stir or shake the pan from time to time.

3. After fried, we take out the crispy potatoes on paper and let the fat stand for a while. Just before serving, salt, pepper and mix with chestnuts, mayonnaise, finely chopped onion, pickle and chopped chives.
