Potato and Egg Salad
Description
This Potato and Egg Salad involves boiling baby potatoes and eggs together, then peeling and chopping both once cooled. The potatoes are boiled with their skins on to maintain firmness and prevent them from breaking apart during cooking. Eggs are cooked to a set yolk in about 5-6 minutes.
Once prepared, the potatoes and eggs are combined with a dressing of mayonnaise, cider vinegar, chopped dill, mustard, salt, and pepper. Spring onions add a fresh, mild onion flavor and crunch. Mixing the salad well ensures the flavors are evenly distributed.
The salad is then refrigerated for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld and the dressing chill. This classic salad works well as a side for barbecues, casual meals, or potlucks.
Ingredients
- 1 kg baby potato 2 lb
- 3 egg
- 2 spring onions
- 4 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon dill chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ black pepper ground
- 1 teaspoon mustard
Instructions
- Place the potatoes and eggs in a large pan and cover with plenty of cold water.
- Add some salt to the water and boil on a medium to high heat for 5-6 minutes until the eggs are cooked, then remove them and continue to boil the potatoes until tender - this might take about 30-40 minutes depending on size of the potatoes.

Notes

- You can peel and cube potatoes before boiling as an alternative method, but texture may differ.
- Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
