  • Peel and chop the potatoes.
  • Peel and chop the eggs and add them to the potatoes.

Notes

  • Now, there are two ways of cooking the potatoes: either boil them in their skin, or peel them off, cube them, and then boil them.
  • If you go by the first method, the cooking time is a bit longer. But it's the way I highly recommend. When you boil the potatoes in their skin, they are less breakable and mushy, and can hold their shape better in the salad.
