Instruction

Preparation step 1

Boil the chicken eggs and quench them.

Preparation step 2

Cut boiled eggs — Boiled and halved eggs.

Halve the eggs and cut them into quarters. Cut half of the eggs into small pieces, set aside remaining eggs for decoration. Place cut eggs in a large bowl. Tip: I always cut the eggs yolks and whites separately.

Preparation step 3

The right type of potato for potato salad is extremely important for success — Fresh potatoes

Wash and peel the salad potatoes.

Preparation step 4

Cut peeled, raw potatoes into uniform 2 cm cubes.

Preparation step 5

Boil potatoes — Potatoes when boiling in salt water.

Boil the prepared potato cubes in spicy salted water.

Preparation step 6

Check the cooking point of the potato cubes, drain and let cool. Put the potatoes in a bowl.

Preparation step 7

Pulp fresh peas or prepare frozen peas. Cook peas in salted water until al dente, drain. Allow peas to cool and add to potatoes.

Preparation step 8

Cut the pickled peppers — Pickled red peppers while cutting on the kitchen board.

Remove peppers or other sweet and sour vegetables from jar, drain well and cut into bite-sized pieces. Add the diced peppers to the potatoes. Optionally, provide some peas and diced peppers extra for decoration from the plate.

Preparation step 9

Mixing mayonnaise together — Homemade mayonnaise in a bowl.

Prepare mayonnaise yourself or prepare ready-made mayo. For the mayo itself there is an extra tutorial with video. Add the mayo to the salad ingredients in the bowl.

Preparation step 10

Mix the potato salad — Potato salad while marinating in the bowl.

Season the salad ingredients with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and sugar and mix. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Preparation step 11

For the light topping, mix sour cream and creme fraiche with lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and a little sugar.

Preparation step 12

Season salad again just before serving. Add the topping on the side. Place the sliced eggs on top. Add decorative vegetables, sprinkle with herbs and serve quickly. Enjoy your meal!
