Ingredients

  • Potatoes: 4-5
  • Ham slices: 3-5
  • Soft-boiled eggs: 2
  • Onions: 2
  • Cucumber: 1
  • Mayonnaise: 150g
  • Chopped parsley: to taste

Seasonings

  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper: to taste
  • Vinegar: 2 tablespoons
  • Salad oil: 1 tablespoon

Preparation Steps

  1. Wash the potatoes and cut each into 4 pieces.
  2. Finely dice the onions and slice the cucumber into thin rounds.
  3. Cut the ham into thin slices, approximately 1 cm square.
  4. Peel the soft-boiled eggs, finely chop one, and cut the other into wedges for garnish.

Cooking Steps

  1. Marinate the diced onions and cucumber slices with salt for 15 minutes to dehydrate the vegetables. Rinse them afterward and pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Place the potatoes in a pot with water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Remove the potatoes, peel them while hot, and mash them into a puree.
  3. Combine the marinated vegetables with the mashed potatoes, add the seasonings, and mix well. Garnish with the soft-boiled egg wedges.
