Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds potatoes small tri-colored
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup gherkins chopped sweet
  • 3 tablespoons gherkin juice
  • 1 tablespoon mustard yellow
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 red onion medium; thinly sliced
  • 5 eggs chopped
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped fresh; for garnish
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions

  • Put the potatoes in a big pot and add enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch. Heat to a rolling boil over medium-high. Cook the potatoes for 20 to 28 minutes, or until they readily slide off a fork. Drain and set aside. Cut the potatoes in half after they are cold enough to handle.
  • Mayonnaise, gherkins, gherkin juice, mustard, salt, and pepper should all be combined in a big dish to make a dressing. Gently fold in the potatoes, red onions, and eggs after adding them to the mixture to coat with dressing. If necessary, taste and adjust the seasoning. Add paprika and parsley as garnish.
