Ingredients
- 1½pounds baby potatoes, scrubbed
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2large eggs
- 1garlic clove, finely grated
- 1tablespoon white wine or rice vinegar
- 1teaspoon mild or hot curry powder
- ½teaspoon onion powder or pinch of MSG
- 3tablespoons mild mayonnaise, such as Hellmann’s
- 2tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- Finely chopped chives, for topping
Preparation
- Step 1
Add the potatoes to a large pot. Cover with cold salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the eggs, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are nearly fork-tender and the eggs are hard-boiled, about 10 minutes. Turn the heat off.
- Step 2
Toss the eggs into a cold sink (so their shells crack), then place in a bowl under cold, running tap water until cool enough to handle, about 1 minute. Drain the potatoes, then return to the pot and cover immediately. Let the potatoes finish cooking in their own steam on the off-but-still-warm burner, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the steamed potatoes to a cutting board and let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk the garlic, vinegar, curry powder and onion powder to combine and disperse the spices, then whisk in the mayonnaise, mustard and honey until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 4
Cut each potato in half, and in quarters, if very large. Peel then coarsely chop the eggs. Add the warm potatoes and eggs to the dressing and toss gently. Shower with the chives and serve warm, at room temperature or cold. This salad keeps for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, covered.

Really questioned cooking eggs with the potatoes, but it worked! Used a slotted spoon to take eggs out and drop them into cold sink; it worked. Then let potatoes did finish cooking in a dry warm kettle. Curry, honey, & yellow mustard flavors just right.
Please cool the eggs in a bowl of water with some ice added, rather than leaving the tap running for a minute. Too many areas are suffering water shortages to be cavalier about water use.
This was excellent and got lots of rave reviews, but I felt it needed crunch. I doubled the recipe and added about 1.5 cups of chopped celery. I also added chives into the salad as well as on top of, as called for.
Never sleep on an Eric Kim recipe. Phenomenal as always. I reheated the leftovers in the air fryer and they crisped up, delish! Also made once with eggs and without. Both great, if you’re not a fan of eggs, there’s no reason to skip this recipe just omit them.
I made it as directed and found it to be too sweet. I would cut the honey in half.L
I really enjoyed it. Easy to make and super versatile to mess with mustard types, and even honey quality. I could see bacon bits in its or anything crunchy. It seems like a great template that is yummy regardless of what you have in he pantry
