Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 4 potatoes (400g)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1/4 carrot

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp salt (for boiling)
  • 2-3 tsp vinegar
  • 6 tbsp mayonnaise
  • A pinch of salt
  • A pinch of pepper
  • Sunflower oil, to taste

Steps

  1. Peel 4 potatoes and cut them into smaller pieces to save time.
  2. Rinse the cut potatoes in water to remove starch.
  3. Finely dice 1/4 carrot into 5-6mm or 1cm cubes.
  4. Slice 1 cucumber into rounds, lightly rub with a pinch of salt, and let it sit. [This is a key tip!] Slicing them into rounds instead of cutting them too small will add volume to the finished dish.
  5. Add water and 2 eggs and 1 tsp salt (for boiling) to a pot and start boiling from cold water.
  6. Add the potatoes to the pot and boil together. [This is a key tip!] If you leave the eggs untouched, the yolks will shift to one side, so occasionally roll them to keep the yolks in the center.
  7. Once the potatoes are tender after about 10 minutes of boiling, add the carrots.
  8. Boil the carrots for 2-3 minutes. When the potatoes and carrots are tender, remove them from the heat.
  9. While the boiled potatoes and carrots are still warm, add 2-3 tsp vinegar and mix. [This is a key tip!] Adding vinegar while warm will result in a chewy texture.
  10. Add 6 tbsp mayonnaise and mix.
  11. Peel the boiled eggs and chop them roughly.
  12. Lightly squeeze the salt-rubbed cucumber and add it to the ingredients along with the chopped eggs. [This is a key tip!] Adding the cucumber later will help maintain its beautiful color.
  13. Add a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, and sunflower oil, to taste, and mix everything together. It's done! [This is a key tip!] Sunflower oil adds gloss and flavor.
