German Potato Salad

• 1kg desiree potatoes, washed
• 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled, sliced
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• 5 gherkins, sliced
• 50g shaved ham, chopped
• 1/2 cup whole-egg mayonnaise
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Cook potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water for 10 to 12 minutes or until just tender. Drain. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Thinly slice crossways. Cool completely.

Place potato, egg, onion, gherkin and ham in a large bowl. Combine mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice and parsley in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add to potato mixture. Toss to combine. Serve.

Alternative options: Try adding some green peas, or leaving the skin on the potatoes.
