check things off as you go

  1. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2 cm cubes. Put them in the saucepan.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    Cover the potato cubes with cold water, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let them cook for 15 min over medium heat.

    Tip · To keep the potatoes from falling apart, don't stir them while they cook.

  3. Drain the potatoes

    Drain the potatoes in the colander and let them cool for 5 min.

  4. Cook the eggs

    Lower the eggs into boiling water for 10 min for a creamy yolk. Run them under cold water before peeling.

    Tip · If you like firmer eggs, cook them for 12 min.

  5. Cut the lettuce

    Wash and spin dry the lettuce, then cut it into strips in the bowl.

  6. Flake the tuna

    Drain the tuna and flake it with a fork into the bowl with the lettuce.

  7. Add the potatoes

    Add the warm potatoes to the bowl with the tuna and lettuce. Toss gently.

  8. Dress the salad

    Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss again. Cut the eggs into quarters and arrange them on top.
