Amazing Egg Salad Without All the Mayo

[@rainmayercoffee]

I see myself in the way you sheepishly over-explain your choices and preferences. Thank you for sharing such a lovely recipe. You have a natural ability to make things beautiful and appealing. Kudos to you for adding in those potatoes and kicking away the doubt. You will never regret being courageous and I for one appreciate what you do in your own perfect style. 💛

[@kcnbt99]

I made this with a pound of potatoes for an 'eggy potato salad' for my housewarming party and it went over so well! So good!!!

[@kaitygrace5326]

I feel like adding potatoes does not make it a potato salad unless you have a larger ratio of potatoes to eggs

[@juliebaker6969]

I make egg-tata-roni salad with equal parts diced hardboiled eggs, diced cooked potatoes, and cooked pasta. Any shape pasta works as long as it is about the same size as the dices. You can add veggies like mushrooms, celery, peppers, and onion and your favorite mayo, dressing, or vinaigrette. It makes a perfect lite summer lunch or brunch, especially when served in a large hollowed out tomato on a lettuce leaf.

[@lubapatitucci5831]

After boiling the eggs for hard boiled I run cold water into the pot and gently crunch eggs against the side of the sink. Than under the the cold running water I remove the shell.

[@UniCorn-vq1xo]

Luba Patitucci Thats what I do too and it Works very well!!

[@monemetal01]

put vingear in the water when cooking, it helps with the peeling, when cooled.

[@b.walker5955]

@@monemetal01 I learned in cooking class the vinegar "talks" to the chemistry in the egg white and tells it to stay in place when a shell has a crack! : ) So when you remove the lid you don't have a scary large blob of egg white seeping out. Here's an odd thing, If you add vinegar to the water used to boil brown eggs something really freaky happens...the brown peels off! And it gives you the impression they were painted! Or actually skinned. It is a very delicate coating. Also FRESH eggs are most difficult to peel. You want 10 day or older eggs that are releasing/loosening from the shell before you cook them. And yet most run out and get the freshest eggs they can before boiling. Plan ahead and you will never have a hard peel again. ; ) Be well my friend!~

[@MISSINGROGERHOWARTH]

I do the same exact thing...and it never fails me!

[@Solarish]

This!! ^^ I’ve always done this and it never fails me! Also make sure to use older eggs. Newer eggs are harder to peel. The vinegar trick helps too. And I recently heard if you take a thumb tack and push it in the bottom of your egg to make a tiny hole, that it helps make sure the eggs don’t crack and explode. Hope it helps !

[@cher128bx]

I wasn't going to try this because I'm an egg salad purist and it didn't appeal to me but...when you spoke so tenderly to your sandwich with the words, "you complete me" you captured my heart. I will DEFINITELY be trying your version WITH that bread.

"Without all the mayo" was the reason I clicked on this recipe, yet he was still generous with the mayo... Adding herbs is right up my street, nice twist.

[@callmecapn3119]

Tbh, it may look like a lot but that really wasn't much mayo. The majority of people I know that have made egg salad add wayyy more, like a whole cup in total, not my type of salad lol. If you still need to take the mayo content down, get all of the boiled egg yolks and mash them together with less mayo in a bowl, then add that to the rest of the salad and it should still turn out pretty thick and nice

[@traceyc130]

Me too. Thought it was no mayo.

[@victoriaboak-riggs4434]

It is dependent on the freshness of the eggs. The newer the egg the harder it will be to peel. Also keep in the eggs in the pot and shock them under running cold water. Drain out the water and shake them in the pot top break up the shells and the shells should slide off easily.

[@arlenesouppa3799]

Victoria Boak-Riggs Yes, I use this method and it works all the time. You can’t let the eggs sit too long.

[@bogieboog]

Adding 2 big tablespoons of salt to the water before turning on the water to boil allows the shells to slip off easily even if you forget an it them in the cold water afterwards.

[@lindalove7193]

Absolutely! Use a teaspoon while they are cracked a little and under cold water. Slide the spoon slowly under the shell to let water in to break the “seal” of the shell. It should slide right off.

[@jmpond4217]

John, make sure your eggs aren't "fresh". Use ones that you have had for at least a week in your fridge....ice bath after cooking makes for an easy peel.

[@lindadillon4482]

Just a tip for easy peeling eggs. My mother in law gave me this tip year's ago and so far, it's worked perfectly. She adds 1 tablesppon and 1 tablespoon of salt into cold water. Add eggs into cold water, brings eggs to hard boil. Take them off and let them set for 10 minutes. Secret is, add unpeeled eggs into bowl of ice water and begin peeling. Mine has always peeled perfecty with this method. Your recipe is totaly different than anything I've tried. Can't wait to make this, looks delicious. Thanks for the video John.

[@SuzetteG316]

I knew right from the start that this was not going to be a recipe I would make (I am very traditional when it comes to my egg salad - lol), but I still watched the video all the way through, twice, because I love John! He is so down to earth, warm and funny, he is just a joy to watch in the kitchen. This recipe is interesting though and if one day I am ever feeling particularly daring, who knows? I might just break down and put a few potatoes and apples in my egg salad. ;)

[@ShenGen69]

Hi John! I adore your channel. Thanks for all the great recipes and tips. Here’s my tip for perfect, easy to peel eggs: -Bring the water to a boil. Make sure there’s enough water to cover the eggs you are boiling. -Gently add the eggs in one by one. (Keep eggs in the fridge until you add them to the pot. I use a slotted spoon to lower them individually into the boiling water). -Boil eggs for 11 minutes. -Remove from heat and dunk eggs in ice cold water. -Let sit for a couple minutes, then peel. They peel perfectly every time. Been doing this for years and there’s only been two or three times when my eggs got stuck to the shell. Hope this helps. Good luck!

[@Glindaful]

This German watcher of your video really appreciates the Pumpernickel which I think is German ! ♡ thanks for your enthusiastic love of good food ♡

[@mariem.c.9193]

To peel hard boiled eggs easily use old eggs. Like ones that have been in the fridge for two weeks. After they're boiled rinse them with cold water till they're cool. Peel off a little then use a plastic spoon to get under the shell and slide off the rest of the shell. Then good luck. Sometimes it seems whatever you do -- they just don't want to peel off cleanly! Love your recipe for egg salad. All I put in mine is mayonnaise and dill. Such a fresh taste. I also use the pumpernickel bread for my egg salad recipes. Love it!

[@mariem.c.9193]

Oops -- I forgot. I start with eggs in cold water -- completely submerged in the water -- then when they come to a boil turn off the burner and clamp a lid on the pot and time for 12 to 14 minutes -- depending on the size of the egg. They come out perfect every time. Be sure and crack them all over before peeling.

[@jhfortpayne]

[@melanienewberry2805]

I started making my boiled eggs in my instant pot. I follow the directions, transfer them with tongs to cold water and crack all of them and put them back in the cold water a few seconds. They peel perfectly. I think the instant pot pressure makes the egg separate from the shell a bit more. Plus I like the texture of the egg more from the instant pot. There more soft...not as rubbery. They come out perfect every time too.

[@hopelostnfound]

Lovely! The fresh dill is one of my favorites also, even added to a green salad it adds such a great dash of fresh flavor. The egg dilemma is one that I have conquered 3 ways. I put some vinegar in the water when I boil it, And putting into an ice bath immediately upon taking it out of the boiling water separates the membrane from the shell. Rolling it before peeling makes the shell come off in a sheet instead of large unbreakable parts that take egg with it. The onion dicing is easiest if you keep the end on with the little hairs intact. Then slice into the onion both ways holding onto it, length side and crosswise, then end by putting the knife through as you dice it falls apart. At the end just cut up to where you can to and leave the last piece of off to save for soup or bone broth. Love the bread, especially the sunflower flavor that you can get at Trader Joe's/ Aldi, etc. BTW, did you know that Trader Joe's and Aldi are owned by brothers? One went with the more trendy upscale branding and the other split off and went the Aldi route offering high quality but without all the frills attached. Anyways, thanks for sharing. Loved the recipe. I have always used apples in my "Auntie Anne's Potato Salad", but had never tried it in my egg salad. AWESOME flavor! I am a disabled woman who has had to learn life from a wheelchair for the past 10 years. It's been both devistating and challenging, but cooking has helped me feel like I can still accomplish something. Thanks again for the fun shows! They give me hope.

[@alanakirk4886]

My father was a chef and he taught me an interesting trick he learned from his instructor at CIA; gently roll the hardboiled egg with your palm against your counter (the same way you would with a lemon or lime), until the shell is crumbly and it should fall right off. Of course, that is if you use salt to boil your eggs, the salt reacts to the shell and allows it to peel. Hope it helps!

[@christyc4846]

I put my eggs in ice water as soon as I take them off the stove. Then once I’m ready to peel, I lightly smash an egg on the counter and roll it back and forth under my palm until all sides of the egg have been crunched up. Shell should come right off! Sometimes in one or two big pieces, but easily either way.

[@1forthepeople969]

@PreppyKitchen: I really enjoyed your video. Re: Boiling eggs- What has always worked for me is you boil the eggs after you've had them 5-7 days. Fresh eggs never peel easily. I boil only 6 at a time because I'm single. Add 1teas distilled vinegar to the water. This is in case one of your eggs has a crack. It keeps the egg from flowing out into the water. Then slow boil the eggs for 10min. Turn the heat off & allow them to sit 10min more. Then put the pot in your sink & turn the cold water on them for few minutes until they cool down. Take your eggs out & refrigerate them. After an hour or so take them out & peel. When you peel start in the middle of the egg not the ends. With this method you'll not be frustrated nor disappointed! Good luck and thank you for sharing. The potato tip is great. I smash potatoes for potato salad but never thought of doing it for egg salad. 🖒

John, an easy way to peel an egg- take a small spoon, turn it over, and run the nose (put a crack in the shell first) between the shell and the egg. The contour of the spoon fits nicely with the shape of the egg and edge of the spoon does a great job lifting the shell off.

[@tsunamarama2]

I like to slip a teaspoon between the shell and egg; it’s magic in removing the shell from a boiled egg

[@broadbent2001]

John I am a fan of that bread too! Delish, And if someone hasn't already suggested it, try peeling hard boiled eggs under cold running water (into a collander), saves rinsing in the end and pretty much helps gently ease the shells off! Give it a try.

[@robinbaich169]

I tap eggs on the counter and then roll them with my hand, using just enough force to crack the shell into small pieces. The shell is then easy to peel.

[@jmarkallison9567]

I recently learned how to have PERFECT peeling eggs every time. Instead of placing eggs in tepid water and then boiling them....bring your water to a boil first. THEN place each egg in the water with a slotted spoon very carefully. Boil for 7 minutes, turn off the fire and place the lid on the pot. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes and then run them under COLD water....peels perfectly every time.... Love your videos John....I think you're a natural in front of the camera and certainly a GREAT cook....would love to meet you someday.

Love your videos. I just did egg salad and deviled eggs for 50. Easy way to boil eggs, and I also do not take them that far done, more like 8 minutes. Put all your eggs back in the pot with some, not a lot, of water. Cover with lid. Now shake the heck out of them, but don't go nuts, just enough to break the shells. Now easily peel them, under running water can also help.

you should poke each egg with a needle at the bottom to make the eggs peel easily before boiling. This will prevent them from cracking as well

[@novanova346]

Love your videos and recipes. You appear so happy! For easier shell peeling: Add 1/4 cup white vinegar to the boiling water. I was told this does something to the shell that separates it from the egg. Also, I put the eggs in an ice bath to cool (15 -20 minutes) and I crack them against the side of the bowl to allow cool water to seep in between the egg and shell while they're cooling. Shells fall right off. I peel them holding them under water in the ice bath so as not to waste running water.

[@SugaSugaBoobooz]

Tip for the egg peeling; right after they’re done boiling, place the eggs into a separate bowl of ice water or really really cold water for at least 5 minutes. The sooner you take the eggs and start peeling however, the eggs will just be really hot so I like to let them sit in the ice water for 15+ minutes so I can handle them better when they’re peeled! The shock of the ice water right after they’ve been boiled does something to make the eggs easier to peel idk lol but it works!

Love your recipes, your kitchen (wow!) and your style :) For easy to peel hard boiled eggs try this method: Take eggs out of the refrigerator and let sit on the counter for a few hours to take the chill off (this is to temper the eggs so they don't crack when put into boiling water). After the eggs have warmed up a bit, bring a pot of water to a full rolling boil. Add the eggs to the boiling water (I use a slotted spoon). When the water resumes boiling, set timer for 11 minutes (for medium size eggs). Take pan off burner and run cold water into the pan. Add a handful of ice cubes to the water to speed up the shock. Once eggs are cool to touch, peel or refrigerate until ready to use. This method has changed my outlook on making hard boiled eggs at home. Hope it works for you too. Thanks for all your humorous and educational videos.

[@johnstevens3894]

I have advice on peeling and chopping hard-boiled eggs. I have pics I'll try to add. As soon as you pull them from the water dunk them in ice water. This will shock the eggs and the shell will pull away from the egg. Leave them in the ice bath for 3 or 4 minutes. Transfer them to a cutting board and lightly crush under your palm and the shell should break away easily. If it doesn't, you didn't soak them long enough. After you have removed the shell (you may dunk the egg back in the water to rinse off any shell bits that may have left behind), the best way to chop them is to put a cooling rack on top of a bowl and press the egg through the cooling rack. I hope this helps.

[@thihal123]

Hi John....if there's more eggs than potatoes, then it's egg salad.....and, if there's more potatoes than eggs......you get the idea. Add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water the eggs are cooking in. They will peel like a dream! Love your recipes! You're the best!💝👍

i peel eggs great. after they are boiled i put them in cold water not for very long tbh. as long as you’d like at least 2 minutes. then i crack then with the back of a spoon and use my finger gently to make an opening then i use the spoon to go around and it’s super easy!

My grandmother taught me how to peel eggs and it like completely changed my egg game! To make it easier on yourself, get the eggs ice cold in an ice bath or the refrigerator or both, then crack them all over, and I mean ALL OVER. Tap them on the counter at first, then, once they're pretty well cracked, roll between your hands them until parts of the shell literally start to fall off. After that, the egg peels like magic. The process sounds complicated, but once you get going, you can peel a dozen eggs in like 5 minutes

Thank you so much for the recipe. I made it last night and didn't expect much, but it's probably the most delicious egg salad I've tried so far ( I haven't tried many 😅) It's really good. Highly recommend to everyone who's still doubting ou there😊

Your egg salad recipe is amazing. I would never have thought of adding apples and potatoes in the egg salad. I am going to try this recipe. By the way if you cook your eggs in the instant pot the shells come off so easy.
