🥔How To Make This Potato Salad With Eggs
1️ Step one: Boil the potatoes and eggs
Put the potatoes (skin on) into a large pot with enough water (easily salted) to cover them on the stove. Bring to boil on medium heat. You can use any type of potatoes you have, I like to use red potatoes for this salad. There are more firm.
Depending on the potato type, boiling time may vary. Boil until fork tender, around 25-40 minutes. 6-8 Minutes before turning off the heat, put in the eggs in to boil together. Drain the water and let to cool.
2️ Step two: Prepare and cut the vegetables
Meanwhile, wash the lettuce and prepare the other vegetables. You can julienne the red onion and put in a small bowl with cold water to release some of the zing. Peel off the eggs and potatoes.
Cut the peppers, spring onions, radishes, and the pickles. Finely chop the fresh herbs. Put them in a large bowl along with the olives and the drained red onion. Add the chopped eggs (thin slices) and cut the potatoes in medium size cubes/chunks.
3️ Step three: Season and blend all together
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the vinegar and the sunflower/olive oil and pour it over the salad. Mix everything well so all the flavors blend nicely together.
At the end, cut the lettuce leaves and easily blend them in.
