Croatian's know how to knock up a good potato salad. Here's my take on a country favourite.

The method

Seven moves.

  1. Potatoes, Roast or Boil

    Roasting the potatoes will give you a more flavoursome result, but will add additional time to the process. So either roast or boil your potatoes, cool and peel them and cut into medium size chunks or slices

  2. Vegetables, Chop

    Core and chop capsicums into small squares equal in diameter. Chop onion and celery into similar sized pieces

  3. Dressing, Mix

    Whisk vegetable oil, vinegar, beef and chicken seasoning as well as the salt and pepper until fully combined

  4. Eggs, Chop

    Chop hard boiled eggs into roughly 8-12 pieces per egg

  5. Combine

    Combine all ingredients into a large bowl and gently toss as not to break up potato too much

  6. Dressing, Add

    Drissle potato mixture with dressing, add additional seasoning if required and mix gently

  7. Refrigerate

    Refrigerate for at least an hour. Give a quick mix at serving time as some of the dressing will have setteled in the bottom of the bowl. Add a few sprigs of dill as garnish. Best eaten on the same day, but will be OK for leftovers the following day with a bit of a mix.
