I make this every year for Christmas, so I thought I might share it here.

Should be prepared a day in advance.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 – 2kg small potatoes, firm cooking such as desiree
  • 6-8 boiled eggs
  • 2 Chirizo sausages, diced
  • 500grams pickled gherkins (Polish or similar)
  • a container of good mayo
  • a container of Caesar dressing or similar
  • salt and pepper
  • white wine or apple vinegar
  • Optional: some finely chopped fresh mint

Process

  • Boil potatoes and ensure they are just cooked but still firm, scare them and set aside until cool enough to handle and then peel, set aside until cold
  • hard boil eggs, scare and peel, set aside until cold
  • into a large bowl (5-7 litre), dice Chirozo, gherkins and mix with all of the mayo and dressing, stir well and add teaspoon of salt and pepper and 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar
  • slice the potatoes about 5mm thick and add to bowl, stir every layer into wet ingredients
  • slice eggs and stir into salad
  • set aside for a couple of hours, covered in fridge
  • check taste and add salt, pepper and vinegar as desired, repeat next day
