A potato haystack is a potato side dish, which is often used as a base to present food on.
It is composed of thin slivers of potato, formed into a mound, and deep fried.
A potato haystack is usually made from regular potato, but occasionally you may see sweet potato haystack on a menu.
Cooking Tips
Potato slivers for this dish are best first soaked in cold water to remove excess starch, then patted dry before using.
