Potato salad with egg

This potato salad with egg is how I used to make potato salad when I lived in South Africa, and it always got rave reviews. It's such a simple recipe, you only need 4 main ingredients for the basic recipe but you can customise it with other ingredients to your own taste.

📝 Ingredients

• 4 - 5 medium potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup / 240 ml mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks.
2. 2Peel the onion and cut it into a fine dice no larger than a pea.
3. 3Place the potatoes in a pan of lightly salted water along with the eggs and bring to a boil. Boil for 8 to 12 minutes until you can pierce the potato with a fork. Remove from the heat and fill the pan with cold water to stop the potatoes from cooking further. Once the potatoes have cooled you can drain the water away.
4. 4When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a serving dish. Peel and chop the eggs and add the eggs and chopped onions to the potatoes.
5. 5Stir in the mayonnaise, taste for seasoning and add salt and ground black pepper to your own taste. Optionally sprinkle with a little ground paprika. Cover the dish and place it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
