Peel the potatoes, wash them and grate them using a Korean carrot grater. Then rinse the grated potatoes well in several waters, dry and deep-fry until golden brown for three minutes. Place the finished potatoes on a paper towel to remove excess oil. To prepare these potatoes, I used this recipe. Cut the pickled cucumbers into strips and place in a bowl. Cut the onion into small cubes and add to the pickled cucumbers.

Good afternoon Did you call a culinary emergency? Then we come to you with a pre-holiday offer - prepare a capercaillie nest salad. A step-by-step recipe with photos will deprive you of headaches and painful thoughts on the topic “what to cook this unusual thing.”
And the snack is really worth it. At the same time tasty and effective. And from the most affordable products. Are you feeling better now? Then choose the option to suit your taste.
Wood grouse's nest salad differs from its snack counterparts in its unusual design. It looks like a bird's nest in which eggs are laid. Its highlight is the deep-fried potatoes that are used to decorate the nest. Not a snack, but an object of culinary architecture.
Now we will build a nest of chicken and ham, and marinated mushrooms will amuse the meat products. So our nest will turn out to have a very bright taste.
What products need to be prepared for the nest
- Boiled chicken breast 300 g.
- Ham 100 g.
- Marinated champignons 350 – 400 g.
- Eggs 4 pcs. (proteins are used here)
- Potatoes 4 pcs.
- Vegetable oil gr.250
- To taste mayonnaise and spices
- Green salad leaves.
- Processed cheese
- Three yolks
- A couple of sprigs of dill
- Two cloves of garlic
- A little mayonnaise.
I wanted to stick with vegetable oil. Adjust its amount depending on the size of the dish in which you will fry the potatoes. There should be a lot of oil so that the potato straws are immersed as much as possible. Only then will we get real French fries.
How to make a salad
- Boil the eggs until hard-boiled. In time it is min. 10 after boiling.
- At this time, start working on the potatoes. It needs to be peeled and cut into very thin strips. You can use a special grater.
- Place potato strips on a paper towel and dry.
- Pour the oil into a frying container. This can be a frying pan, a small saucepan, or a saucepan. The oil must be heated thoroughly. This is an important nuance, please take it into account. You can check the temperature of the oil this way - throw one potato straw into it. If it sizzles, it means the oil is ready to give the potatoes a golden brown color.
- Place the potatoes in a frying pan and fry on one side until golden brown. Turn over to the other side and also achieve a golden color. An important point - if the dish is small, or there are a lot of potatoes, fry them in several stages. Otherwise, you will not achieve the effect of fries, but will get fried potatoes. In order for the crust to be golden brown on all sides, each straw should feel free in the oil.
- Place the fried potatoes on a paper towel and add salt. Here it will lose unnecessary fat and cool down.
- Peel the boiled eggs and separate them into whites and yolks.
- Use a coarse grater to extract the whites into strips; set the yolks aside for now.
- Divide the brisket into fibers with your hands. You can, of course, cut it into strips. But this way the nest will look more interesting and more believable.
- Chop the ham into strips.
- Cut the mushrooms into slices.
- Combine meat, ham, proteins and mushrooms. Season with mayonnaise, add salt and pepper. Stir and set aside.
- Now is the time to get creative and fashion capercaillie eggs. Why grate processed cheese and yolks.
- Add crushed garlic, chopped dill.
- Salt, pepper, add a little mayonnaise. The mass should have a viscous consistency and be moldable. Determine the size of the eggs on site. Usually they are made small, comparable to the nest.
- Cover a flat dish with green leaves and place the salad mixture on them.
- Sprinkle the top of the nest with potato straws.
- Deepen the middle and place bird eggs there.
The work of culinary art is ready. Serve and shock your guests.
A couple of tips from personal practice
- I sometimes replace pickled mushrooms with pickled onions. It turns out very tasty. I recommend experimenting, you won’t regret it.
- When I roast potatoes, I add some sliced ham at the end of the process. 2 minutes before ready. During this time, the potato straws will have time to be enriched with ham flavor, and will become more aromatic and tastier.
- Sometimes I change the salad assembly. I add half the potatoes to the meat and ham. I decorate the top of the nest with the remaining amount. This option is especially good when pickled onions are used. Imagine the effect the combination of potatoes and pickled onions will give. Lick your fingers!

Not a single feast is complete without a salad, and for the hostess the assessment of the guests means absolutely empty plates. Previously, housewives traditionally prepared Olivier and herring under a fur coat, but now everyone wants something original and unusual. If you really want to surprise and feed your guests, then you can prepare the Wood Grouse Nest salad. At first glance, it really looks like a wood grouse’s nest in the grass and looks unusual on the table, but after trying the first spoon, you can’t stop.
The idea of the design is that the salad is laid out on a green bed of salad greens, dill or parsley. The salad, laid out on a green pillow, is given the shape of a bird's nest, and then covered on all sides with French fries cut into very small strips. The result should be a bird's nest with the filling inside. The ingredients for it can be different: chicken, veal, seafood, mushrooms, liver, cheese, prunes. The list can be continued indefinitely, as far as your imagination allows. The eggs in the center of the nest are a must when decorating the salad.
If possible, make sure that the number of eggs in the “nest” corresponds to the number of guests, so that everyone gets an egg along with the salad.

To the chicken broth with gelatin add chicken meat, divided into small fibers and sweet pepper pieces with small sprigs of parsley. Then put it in the refrigerator until the contents harden. All that remains is to clean them. If it doesn't clean well, run hot water over it for a second.
For the salad, boil and cut the chicken. Cut the onion into half rings, carrots and potatoes into strips, grate the eggs on a coarse grater. Fry potatoes and carrots in vegetable oil. Season everything with mayonnaise and mix. You can add salt and allspice to taste.

Changes are made to traditional recipes over time; perhaps someone didn’t want to bother with a frying pan, but there was a pack of chips lying around at home. That's how it came to be: Wood Grouse's Nest with Potato Chips.
Ingredients:
- A pack of potato chips of any kind
- Boiled chicken meat
- Fresh cucumbers
- Boiled eggs
- Champignon
- Vegetable oil
- Onion
- Green onion feathers
- Mayonnaise
Preparation:
Salads are laid out on a flat dish in layers. First there is a thin layer of crushed chips, then a layer of chicken meat, cut into strips. Make a layer of mayonnaise.
The next layer is fried champignons with onions, then sliced cucumbers. Add salt and make a layer of mayonnaise. Then grate the whites on a coarse grater. Each layer should be made slightly smaller in diameter so that a small mound emerges. Garnish with finely chopped green onions, and place eggs made from yolks, cheese and mayonnaise in the center (you can add a clove of garlic for taste.)
If you still want to put real eggs in your salad, but don’t know how to make them original, try the following: before cooking, shake the egg vigorously for five minutes to mix the yolk with the egg. When you start to peel them, under the shell there will be a yellow egg, as if made of gold. You can make an egg red by keeping a peeled egg in beet juice for a short time.
