Season - Trufandale with new potatoes and spring cabbage salad by Aida E. - Recipia

Trufandale are small new potatoes, boiled whole and then fried in oil until golden on all sides. It is a summer Lenten dish, served with spring cabbage salad, lots of dill and a little vinegar. I choose potatoes the size of a quail egg, because they brown evenly. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 30 minutes. Resting: 10 minutes. Total time: 60 minutes. Servings: 4. About 310 kcal and 6 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg new potatoes (small)
  • 1500 ml water (for boiling the potatoes)
  • 1/2 small head of spring cabbage (about 400 g)
  • 1000 ml water (for the cabbage)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 60 g dill (2 bunches)
  • 5 tablespoons oil for frying
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt

Preparation

1. Wash the new potatoes, small ones if possible, and put them whole in a pot with 1500 ml water to boil. 2. Boil them for 20 minutes, until a fork pierces them easily. 3. Meanwhile, wash the dill, dry it and chop it finely. 4. Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage, wash it and chop it finely. 5. Put the chopped cabbage in 1000 ml water with 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of vinegar for 10 minutes. 6. Drain the cabbage and mix it gently with half of the chopped dill. 7. Drain the potatoes well and let them drain properly, then heat 5 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. 8. Add the potatoes to the oil and fry them over low heat for 10 minutes, until nicely browned on all sides, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of fine salt. 9. Serve the potatoes warm, with the new cabbage salad on the side.

Notes

If you don't have vinegar, add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the cabbage water instead of vinegar. They taste like home fried potatoes, only here they are boiled whole first. They also go well with roast chicken. Bigger potatoes need extra minutes to boil, until a fork goes in easily, so don't rely only on the 20 minutes. The spring cabbage sits only 10 minutes in the vinegar water, because if it sits longer it gets soft and loses its crunch. Fresh dill keeps better if you add it to the salad just before serving. The fried potatoes keep up to 3 days in the fridge, and the cabbage is kept separately.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use older, larger potatoes?

You can, but older ones have a floury centre and need 25 minutes of boiling, until a fork goes in easily. Cut them in half and they brown faster in the pan.

What if the cabbage turns out too sour?

Rinse it twice with cold water after the 10 minutes and squeeze it lightly before mixing it with the dill.

Why do the potatoes stick to the pan?

The potatoes must be drained well first, otherwise the water splashes the oil and they stick to the bottom. When they are golden, they come off the pan on their own.
