    💭 Recipe Tips

    • You can either peel the potatoes or leave the skin on. I usually leave the skin. If you do choose to leave the skin on, give them a good scrub and remove any blemishes before boiling.
    • If the potatoes are very large, cut them in half or quarters, it will speed up the cooking time.
    • Allow the potatoes, peas and eggs to cool before assembling the salad.
    • For convenience, use diced canned beetroot, drain and rinse well to remove the pickling juices.
    • Use ready made or homemade unflavored natural Greek yogurt for the salad dressing .
    • If you would like to make your own Greek yogurt, click here for my recipe.
    • For mixing the dressing into the salad use a flexible spatula/bowl scraper, it’s easier than using a wooden spoon.
    • When mixing the dressing into the potato salad, season the salad to taste with salt and pepper.
    • If you have prepared the salad in advance, it may look a little dry, mix 1- 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt just before serving.
