  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 13 minutes. Drain and place into an ice water bowl. Let stand for about 5 minutes. Peel the eggs. Let them cool down while you prepare the rest.
  2. Start cooking the potatoes as well.
  3. Chop the onion very finely. Place the into a very large bowl. Add the Greek yogurt and the crème fraiche or sour cream. Add mustard, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and sugar. Mix well. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Finely chop the eggs or use an egg slicer to dice the eggs. Chop the chives as well. Add both to the bowl and mix gently.
  5. If the sauce is too thick, thin it slightly with a little milk. Adjust the taste with more vinegar, if necessary, and with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve the sauce over hot boiled potatoes. The egg sauce will keep for 3-4 days, airtight, in the refrigerator.
