Potato Egg Mayo Salad Ingredients
- 5 medium potatoes
- 3 eggs
- Mayonnaise (to taste)
- Salt (a pinch)
- Sugar (a pinch, optional)
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper
- 1/2 red bell pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and dice them into approximately 2-3 cm cubes. Cutting them into smaller pieces helps them cook faster, saving you time.
Step 2
In a separate pot, boil 3 eggs for about 15 minutes until they are hard-boiled.
Step 3
Finely dice half of the yellow bell pepper and half of the red bell pepper. Feel free to add other vegetables like cucumber or onion according to your preference. Canned corn or raisins can also add a delightful touch! Today, we’re keeping it simple with just the basics.
Step 4
Once the eggs are hard-boiled, transfer them to cold water to cool slightly. Then, carefully peel them and set them aside.
Step 5
While the potatoes are still hot, mash them thoroughly using a spoon or a potato masher. Aim for a mostly smooth consistency, but leaving a few small chunks adds a nice texture.
Step 6
Mash the egg yolks together with the mashed potatoes. The yolks will contribute to the creaminess of the salad.
Step 7
Finely chop the peeled egg whites into small pieces, about 0.5 cm. These will add little bites of texture to the salad.
Step 8
Combine the mashed potatoes (with yolks), diced bell peppers, and chopped egg whites in a bowl. Mix everything together well. Look at those vibrant colors!
Step 9
Add a pinch of salt to the potato mixture to season it.
Step 10
Generously add mayonnaise to your liking. Since this is for a sandwich filling, don’t be shy with the mayo; it’s key for creaminess and flavor.
Step 11
Stir everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or mayonnaise as needed. A tiny bit of sugar can enhance the flavors, so feel free to add it if you like. Your delicious potato egg salad is now ready!
Step 12
This potato egg mayo salad is wonderful on its own. The pops of bell pepper add a pleasant crunch that prevents it from being monotonous.
Step 13
While the salad is great by itself, it truly shines as a sandwich! Generously spread the potato egg mayo salad onto slices of bread to create your sandwich. You can toast the bread for extra crispiness, or enjoy it soft.
Step 14
The soft bread complements the creamy and savory potato egg mayo salad perfectly. Together, they make a wonderfully filling and satisfying meal. It’s both hearty and delicious!
Step 15
(Pro Tip) If you add raisins, they’ll provide a sweet and tangy contrast with a chewy texture, cutting through any richness and making it even more enjoyable. With raisins, this salad might disappear even faster! Haha.
Step 16
Making potato egg mayo salad is incredibly simple, requiring only potatoes and eggs as the base. You can easily customize it by adding your favorite ingredients. It’s a straightforward yet fantastic recipe!
