Sour Cream And Onion Spiced Grilled Tornado Potatoes Food

SOUR CREAM AND ONION SAUCE

Steps:

• Mince and mash 1 garlic clove with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt into a chunky paste. Whisk the garlic paste, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons vinegar and 2 tablespoons chopped chives in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

TWIRLY TORNADO CHIPS

Steps:

• Pour the oil to reach halfway up the sides of a Dutch oven. Heat to 365 degrees F.
• While the oil heats up, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove to paper towels to drain. Crumble once cooled.
• Using a spiralizer, twist the sweet potatoes through the blade. As the potato is spiralized, use kitchen shears to snip the spirals into long lengths. (If you don't do this, the potato will stay connected.)
• Add the potatoes, in batches, to the hot oil and fry until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to drain. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
• To serve, transfer the potatoes to a serving platter. Drizzle with sour cream and hot sauce. Sprinkle with the crumbled bacon and chives. Serve immediately.

HOMEMADE SOUR CREAM AND ONION CHIPS

Steps:

• Whisk together 8 cups water with 1/4 cup of the salt. Place the sliced potatoes into the water-and-salt solution and let soak for at least 20 minutes. After they have soaked, dry thoroughly on a paper towels or dish towels.
• Heat the oil a large Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a spice grinder, combine the buttermilk powder, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar, dill and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Grind into a homogeneous powder.
• In handful-size batches, fry the potatoes until they just turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss immediately in a large bowl with some of the spice mixture. Then place them on a baking sheet and sprinkle them again with some of the spice mixture.
• Hold them in semi-airtight container for a few days, if you can stand it that long.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a stockpot or pasta pot, bring about 2 gallons of water to a boil with a palmful of salt and a splash of oil.
• Meanwhile, set a large frying pan over high heat, then coat the bottom of the pan with oil. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook, working in batches if necessary, until browned, about 2 minutes. Return all the onions to the pan, then turn the heat to medium-low and cover. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the onions have turned a deep golden color, about 20 minutes.
• Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks. When the water has come to a full boil, add the potatoes. Cook, uncovered, until easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
• Using a potato masher or large whisk, begin to break down the potatoes. Add the sour cream, milk and butter and continue to mash until the desired consistency is reached. Season to taste with salt. Add the caramelized onions and chopped chives and mix well. Place in a large serving bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Sprinkle with additional chives and crushed potato chips right before serving.
