Method

  • Clean, chop and boil the spuds. Leave the skins on. Allow to cool.

  • Hardboil the eggs. And deshell immediately. Chop pretty finely. Allow to cool.

  • Chop the spring onions. As many as you like according to taste. The green stalks are vital to add a bit of colour.

  • Now mix all the ingredients together with the mayo. You can use lowere fat mayo and it still tastes great. I sometimes put a squirt of salad cream in too to make it a little more exciting.

  • If you're feeling fancy, sprinkle some finely chopped green spring onions (or chives or parseley if you like) bits on top for decoration.

  • You can make this salad the night before and refrigerate it: taking the pressure of the big day.

    • I havent tried it with chopped boiled egg but i have added horseradish to the mayo/salad cream ( to taste ) ...it gives the potato salad a bit of a kick

    • I'll put up a recipe for homemade mayo, it's just egg and oil so people will already have eggs for this recipe. One thing I would say is not to add mayo to anything hot but it you put the potatoes in cold water they cool straight away :D Haven't put egg in potato salad before and will deffo give this a whirl.

      Thanks, Nikki xXx

    Ideal for barbecues or buffet meals, this is an easy, cheap, delicious potato salad.

     

    This was always a favourite in our family when we were kids: it came out at every barbie we had during long summer sussex days way back when. I made it a few times this summer for a picnic and som,e barbecues and it was richly complimented. Read More
