Potatoes Transformed

I could not stomach the thought of eating any more of that sour cream/mayo mess of potatoes and mushrooms. But I couldn't bear the thought of chucking the innocent potatoes! I'm just too much a potato fan. I had to salvage this dish somehow! So, I decided to scrape off the curdly mess and pan fry the dish to add a bit of a crisp crust to the taters along with a sprinkling of gravlax (yes, I still have a few pounds in the freezer from my experimentation days), paprika and freshly ground pepper. Success!! It was certainly edible. I threw in a few dashes of leftover Heinz Chili Sauce from the crockpot pulled pork, but that didn't really do anything for me. Perhaps for other folks who love ketchup-like condiments on their potatoes it'd be delicious, but it's just not my style. Hmm...maybe some Indonesian/Malaysian/Singaporean hot chili-based condiments might have been an interesting twist...Nevertheless, the gravlax added some nice saltiness to the mix that enhanced the crisp edges of the potatoes while the salmon flavour helped to drown out any leftover sour cream/mayo flavours that lingered.
