Questions about Potato salad with egg
How do you stop potato salad with egg becoming watery?
Drain the potatoes thoroughly, then let them steam-dry for a few minutes before dressing. Add mayonnaise or dressing once they are warm rather than piping hot, and fold in chopped egg gently so it stays in pieces.
How long should you boil potatoes for potato salad with egg?
Cut waxy potatoes into even chunks and simmer them in salted water for about 10–15 minutes, until a knife slips in without the pieces falling apart. Boil the eggs separately for 9–10 minutes, then cool them promptly before peeling.
Can you make potato salad with egg the day before?
Yes. Chill it in a covered container as soon as it has cooled, and keep it refrigerated until serving. Stir gently before serving; if it seems dry, fold in a little mayonnaise or yoghurt.
What goes well with potato salad with egg?
Serve it with grilled sausages, roast chicken or a spread of cold meats, and add something crisp such as sliced cucumber or radishes. Chives, spring onions, mustard and dill are all classic additions.
Can you freeze potato salad with egg?
Freezing is not recommended: potatoes often turn grainy and mayonnaise can split as it thaws. Make only what you can keep chilled and eat within a few days.

Use thick natural yoghurt or crème fraîche for a lighter, tangier dressing, or toss the warm potatoes with olive oil, mustard and a little vinegar. Add the chopped egg after dressing the potatoes.
