Ingredients

700g kipfler potatoes, washed
1 red onion, finely sliced
6 boiled eggs, quartered
12 dried tomatoes, sliced finely
1 bunch parsley leaves
1 cup light sour cream
Juice of 2 lemons
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Everyone has probably made a potato salad at least once in their life, and it's easy to personalise. Ed's worked his magic to create this fantastic version of an old favourite. Ed says he always uses kipfler or bintje potatoes because they are sweet and waxy, which makes them perfect for salad.

Here's how:

1 Place the potatoes in a pot of cold salted water and bring to a boil, then continue cooking until just soft (about 11 minutes).

2 Drain then peel the potatoes while still hot. You'll find the skin slips off while the potatoes are still hot. Quarter the potatoes.

3 Combine the potatoes, onion, eggs, tomatoes and parsley.

4 Whisk the remaining ingredients together and season lightly.

5 Pour the dressing over while the potatoes are still warm.

6 Allow to sit for at least 1 hour before serving.

Finally a potato salad that I can eat! I don't eat potato salads because I hate mayo, but since this is made with sour cream I can finally have some potato salad!

I have been making this for about 20 years but using vinegar instead of lemon juice and its yummy

Yum, cold egg freaks me out though. Would it be ok without?

I might try the vinegar next time or cut down on the lemon juice, I found it a bit overpowering.
