Author Notes

In some places you can buy frozen cooked/cubed boiled potatoes. If you're lucky enough, this recipe will take about 5 minutes. For sure I know that you can buy hard boiled/peeled eggs and this recipe assumes that you use these eggs, I could never quite work out the way to make hardboiled eggs that you can peel so I never make hard boiled eggs anymore. I just by them prepared and ready to go.

Acknowledgement

I never just copy a recipe for publication on my website. I always prepare the recipe, sometimes two or three times, before I like it enough to publish it. My preparation of the recipe may involve a complete change to the original list of ingredients and of course the cooking method and instructions, and in this way, they become virtually my own.

But there are times when a recipe is perfect as published and for these instances, I like to accredit the author or their website or the source of the recipe. If this happens, I will include the details in this section.

If you see a recipe on my website that you like and you copy it, I would appreciate your acknowledgement and link-back to my site.
