Background
This potato and egg salad is very popular in Eastern Europe, particularly at parties. It's simple to make and can be supplemented with other ingredients -Β such as salami, ham, crispy bacon, green beans and gherkins. It can be made in advance so it's also an ideal salad for picnics and barbecues.
Ingredients
- 1 kg new potatoes
- 4 boiled eggs
- 1 red onion
- 5 Tbsp mayonnaise (approx)
- 1 Tbsp German mustard
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper

Instructions
- Cook the potatoes in salted water until tender but not mushy.
- Rinse in cold water - peel them, if you prefer.
- Mix the mayonnaise with lemon juice and mustard to your liking, season with salt and pepper.
- Version 1: slice the potatoes, eggs and onion into rings, layer them on top of each other in a serving bowl. Drizzle each layer with the mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkle the top with chives.
