what you need: 1 kg potatoes peeled & chopped in evenly sized dice (pontiacs, desiree or dutch cream) 2 eggs, boiled & grated 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika 4 shallots 2 sticks celery 1 bunch chives 1/4 cup mint leaves Cracked black pepper
what to do: Peel potatoes, chop into large even dice and place in large pot, with the two eggs, covering with cold water, lid on & bring to the boil. Once water is boiling remove lid, cook for a further 10 mins. Finely chop shallots, celery, chives & mint. Remove eggs from pot after 10 mins, run under cold water, peel off shells, then grate eggs. Check potatoes with a small sharp knife or skewer, you are wanting them to be cooked through. Drain potatoes in a colander. Place the potatoes still warm in a large mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, grated eggs, paprika & cracked black pepper to taste, mix thoroughly, (mixing this when still warm will cause a creamy effect that you won’t get if you wait until potatoes cool down.) Add remaining ingredients & mix thoroughly. Serve warm or cold. enjoy
