Preparation

How to prepare Potato nests with eggs

To prepare the potato nests with eggs, start by peeling the potatoes 1, then julienne them using a mandoline or grater 2 and set aside. Meanwhile, heat the seed oil in a large pot, when it is hot, take a small double frying basket, which consists of two steel baskets (the large basket has a diameter of about 4.33 inches and the small one about 3.54 inches) that will give the potatoes a basket shape, and dip it in the hot oil 3 to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the basket during cooking.

Place about 3.5 oz of julienne potatoes inside the larger basket 4 and close it over the smaller basket with a light pressure 5. Dip the potatoes in the boiling oil 6 and fry until golden brown,

then drain them and gently remove them from the tool where they are contained 7. Place the basket on a glass bowl to maintain the shape (8-9).

Continue the same way with the remaining potatoes 10. Now Hard Boiled Eggs 11, then cool them under a stream of cold water, peel them, and slice them 12.

Dress the lettuce with a vinaigrette made by whisking extra virgin olive oil with a few drops of lemon and salt. Make the cocktail sauce by mixing mayonnaise and ketchup 13. At this point, assemble the nests: take a basket, fill it with the lettuce, dress with the cocktail sauce 14, and place the egg slices on top. Your potato nests with eggs are ready to be served!
