How to Make Bacon Scholle Potato Salad Speck Scholle Zu Kartoffelsalat
- Wash 1 pound of small potatoes.
- Cook potatoes in a pot of boiling salted water for 20 minutes, or until tender.
- Finely chop 1/2 medium yellow onion.
- Thinly slice 1/2 cucumber and 1/4 cup radishes.
- Finely chop 2 tablespoons fresh chives.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in 5 ounces of water, 1 vegetable bouillon cube, and 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar. Simmer until the liquid is almost completely absorbed.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cooked onions, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the chopped chives, and 1 teaspoon mustard seeds. This is your marinade.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Peel the potatoes while still warm and slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Add the sliced potatoes, cucumber, and radishes to the marinade and gently toss to combine.
- Let the potato salad sit for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Dice 4 ounces of bacon into small pieces.
- Season the bacon with salt and pepper, and dredge lightly in 1 tablespoon flour.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside, reserving the bacon fat.
- Add 2 scholle fillets (about 6 ounces total) to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Add 1 tablespoon capers.
- Cook the scholle for 5-6 minutes per side over low heat, covered, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Arrange the cooked scholle on plates, top with the bacon and a generous spoonful of the potato salad.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
