Junk Food Potato Salad

Serves 8 to 10

We’ll never been the same after making blackened potato salad the first time. The idea is duh: parboil your cut potatoes, strain ‘em and drain ‘em, then shake ‘em with cornmeal, herbs, and spices until they’re coated and pan-fry them in fat to till they’re crunchy. For our trademarked ‘Dirty South’ flavor, just use the Cajun crust from our okra gratin (pg. 71) which makes flavor crunchies out of fresh oregano, thyme, paprika, and white pepper. But for the ‘Classic Americana’ version, we do something we wouldn’t normally do: we pop a bag of corn chips and use them lavishly like a fine imported spice. Whether it’s a fancy schmancy brand or your guilty pleasure go-to Doritos, the technique is the same. Grind your chips into flavor-crystal crumbs using a food processor and dust those taters for blackening. Once you go blackened, you’ll never go back.

2 pounds red skin potatoes

half a 17-ounce bag of corn chips

2 tablespoons butter

¼ cup mayonnaise

½ cup labneh or yogurt

½ cup scallions, sliced

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

sea salt to taste
