Description

A creamy and satisfying twist on classic potato salad, packed with unique flavors featuring potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and crunchy veggies.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups potatoes (chopped into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • ½ English cucumber (thinly sliced)
  • ¼ cup corn
  • ¼ cup carrots (small dice, ¼ inch)
  • ¼ cup apple (small dice, ¼ inch)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (for cucumber slices)
  • ⅓ cup mayo
  • 1 ½ teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes: Fill a large pot with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Cook potatoes for 10-15 minutes until tender.
  2. Prepare the hard-boiled eggs: Boil eggs, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 9-12 minutes, then cool in an ice bath.
  3. Cucumber prep: Sprinkle sliced cucumbers with salt, toss, and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  4. Chop everything up: Dice apple, carrots, and slice cooled hard-boiled eggs while cucumbers are salting.
  5. Mixing it all together: Once the potatoes are cooled, add cucumber (rinsed and dried), corn, carrots, and apple. Fold together gently.
  6. Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk mayo, rice wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
  7. Combine dressing and salad: Pour dressing over potato mixture and fold gently, adding hard-boiled eggs last.
  8. Chill before serving: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the salad chill before serving.
