Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
Let's make an Easter salad. Let's start with potato chips. To do this, peel the potatoes (I have medium-sized ones), rinse and grate them on a grater for Korean carrots.
Step 2:
Then rinse the potato chips to wash off excess starch and dry on a towel. Then fry the potatoes in small portions in a large amount of vegetable oil. Choose a frying pan with a large diameter so that the chips are well fried and obtained not in a large lump, but in a separate chip. Fry it until golden brown, then put it on paper towels to get rid of excess fat.
Step 3:
Boil the chicken breast in salted water until tender or, as I do, bake in foil in the oven with garlic and spices, cool, cut finely. Take a large dish or plate, lay out the pieces of fillet in the form of an egg, smear with mayonnaise.
Step 4:
Wash the fresh cucumbers, grate them on a coarse grater, put them on top of the chicken breast, smear with mayonnaise.
Step 5:
Boil the egg until tender, cool, grate, put on top of a layer of cucumbers, smear with mayonnaise.
Step 6:
Grate the cheese on a fine grater, put it on top of a layer of boiled eggs.
Step 7:
Put the cooled potato straws on the sides, forming a "nest". Decorate according to your taste, I decorated with quail eggs, Easter inscriptions and greenery. That's all, a delicious and original salad for Easter is ready, bon appetit!

My comments on the recipe - I have long wanted to make such a salad, I cooked it and did not regret it, it is very tasty, and if you still work hard on the decor, it can become an excellent decoration of the festive table, along with cakes and other symbolic dishes for Easter. I had some difficulties with frying potato chips, I got it periodically in single ugly lumps, so as not to repeat my mistakes - for frying, choose a large, wide frying pan, pour a large amount of vegetable oil, heat it well and lower the chips into the oil little by little, separating it from each other and stirring occasionally.
