My Ultimate Potato Salad
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1kg Cornish new potatoes
- 250g mayonnaise I always use a light dairy free version
- gherkins chopped
- cooked bacon chopped
- 5 eggs
- bunch of fresh chives chopped
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Place your new potatoes in cold water and bring to the boil. Gently boil the potatoes until tender (around 15 minutes). Drain well and leave to cool.
- Whilst your potatoes are cooking, boil your eggs. Place your eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a gentle boil and cook for about 9 minutes.
- Once your eggs are cooked plunge them into cold water, drain and repeat with more cold water. This will prevent the eggs from overcooking.
- Once cool, peel your eggs and chop.
- Slice your now cooled potatoes and place in a bowl.
- Add your mayonnaise and mix thoroughly.
- Combine your hard boiled eggs, cooked bacon and chopped gherkins with the potatoes and mayonnaise.
- Place your potato salad into a dish for serving.
- Add fresh chopped chives and season with salt and pepper.
- Keep chilled until serving.
