Episode 403 - Potato & Egg Salad

Hi guys! This is one of my favourites when it comes to gatherings and parties. It's also one of my friend's fav because he loves potatoes. It's a real filling Salad but taste really good as it's creamy and packed with goodness (Warning- high content of Carbs :0). You can go creative by adding other things in like Salami, tuna, leftover chicken chunks, macaroni, capsicum, strips of fried beef bacon or even fruits like cut apples! Regardless, this is a basic potato salad which you can improvise and add other ingredients as you like!


Potato & Egg Salad


Ingredients:
5 Medium sized Australian Washed Potatoes; boiled, skin peeled off & diced into 1-1.5 inch cubes
2 Hard- boiled eggs; sliced or diced
3-4 tbspns Mayonnaise
1 tbspn Cream Cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 tspns each of dried Basil & Parsley


Method:
Mix all the ingredients gently and serve.


Serves: 3


*Tip*: To boil potatoes, place a teaspoon of salt in the water. To check if potatoes are cooked, use a bamboo skewer/ or "Satay" stick to poke through. If it the stick goes through easily, your potatoes are cooked! Medium sized potatoes should take around 15-20 minutes on medium low fire. Potatoes can also be peeled then boiled. For abit of heat, you can add a lil chilli powder and also Paprika for colour/ presentation. For a bit of a heavy taste, you can add chopped large onions, not too much as the taste can be overwhelming! For those who love abit of sourness in this salad, you can add a teaspoon of sourcream or a squeeze of lemon juice! SLuRpS


So remember, you can add anything into this recipe just as long as it suits your guests and your taste! More recipes to come,so don't barge! XO)
