Salad
Description
A simple dish to prepare. The "Crow's Nest" salad is very easy to make. The key is to properly fry the potato straws. To get crispy, golden fries, choose smooth, evenly sized potatoes without eyes. After cutting, thoroughly rinse the potatoes in cold water to remove as much starch as possible. The crunchy onion, fresh cucumber, and fried potatoes go perfectly with boiled chicken meat and velvety boiled eggs. Serve chilled.
