Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Cut the cold boiled potatoes into small cubes and place them in a large bowl. Chop the hard-boiled egg whites and add them along with the grated onion to the potatoes.

Step 2.
In a separate bowl, mash the hard-boiled egg yolks with the dry mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add the vinegar and mix thoroughly.
-
Step 3.
In a small saucepan, bring the milk or cream to a boil over medium heat. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture while stirring constantly, then add the butter and stir until melted and combined.
-
Step 4.
Pour the hot dressing over the potato mixture and stir gently until everything is evenly coated. Let the salad cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

Step 5.
Serve the potato salad on a bed of lettuce, and if desired, drizzle a little extra boiled dressing on top.
