Notes
Potatoes may be boiled whole in skins, cooled, and carefully peeled to leave the thin, yellow protein layer intact for improved nutritional value and flavour. Slice at room temperature or chilled.
Chopping the potatoes into small pieces allow more surface to be coated and improves the flavour.
You can omit salt and use a chicken-flavoured bouillon cube instead. Add chopped onion to bouillon and simmer for a few minutes to blend flavours.
Salad can be served chilled or warm to preference.
