Potato, Egg, and Yogurt Salad for One: Toss After the Steam Escapes

Before cooking for one

Cooking just for yourself? Start with these amounts from the recipe's one-serving column. Check the full ingredient list below for the remaining ingredients and seasonings.

• Potato: 1.5 (small)
• Egg: 1
• Yogurt: 3 household eating spoons (plain, unsweetened)

Follow the recipe's preparation and cooking steps after measuring; package size is not the amount to use.

Place the peeled potato flat-side down and cut it into 2 cm pieces. Add enough water to cover the potato by 2 cm and boil. Check whether a fork slides easily into the center. If it is still firm after 10 minutes, continue checking in 2-minute increments. Potatoes of different sizes may take different amounts of time to cook, even in the same pot.

Ingredients for 1 serving

• Potato: 1 and 1/2 (small)
• Egg: 1
• Yogurt: 3 household eating spoons (plain, unsweetened)
• Lemon juice: 1/2 household eating spoon
• Salt: 1 pinch

The amounts are based on the ingredient list for 1 serving shown in the app. Household eating spoons and pinches are informal measures and have not been converted into precise grams or milliliters. Check the package size and cup capacity shown in parentheses as well.

Instructions

• Step 1. Wash and peel the potatoes, then prepare the amount listed in the ingredients. To keep them from rolling, place the flat side of a halved potato on the cutting board and cut it into 2 cm pieces.
• Step 2. Put the potatoes in a pot and add water to cover them by 2 cm. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to medium and boil for 10 minutes. When a fork slides easily into the center, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool. If they are firm, boil them for an additional 2 minutes at a time.
• Step 3. Rinse the same pot, then add the egg and enough cold water to cover it by 2 cm. Once the water boils, cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, then cool the egg in cold water. Peel and cut it into 4 pieces. Check that the yolk is firm.
• Step 4. Mix the yogurt, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Add the potatoes and egg after the steam has escaped, then gently fold them together with a spoon.

Boil the Egg in Separate Water

Rinse the pot after removing the potatoes, then add fresh cold water and the egg. Bring the water to a boil, cook over medium-low heat, then cool the egg in cold water and peel it. The potatoes and egg are not cooked together and removed at the same time. Cut the egg into four pieces and check that it is cooked through before combining it with the prepared sauce.

Toss Gently, Leaving Some Chunks

First mix the yogurt, lemon juice, and salt, then add the potatoes and egg once the steam has escaped. Fold them together with a spoon rather than mashing everything like mashed potatoes. This recipe uses plain, unsweetened yogurt; sweetened, flavored yogurt will change the taste. Once the salad is ready, serve only as much as you need.

Complete Cooking Instructions

Step 1. Wash and peel the potatoes, then prepare the amount listed below. To keep them from rolling, place the flat side of a halved potato on the cutting board and cut it into 2 cm pieces.

Check: For 1 serving, use 1 and a half small potatoes. A small potato is about a little larger than an egg (approximately 80 g). Prepare only the amount shown below and cut the pieces to a similar size.

Step 2. Put the potatoes in a pot and add water to cover them by 2 cm. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to medium and boil for 10 minutes. When a fork slides easily into the center, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool. If they are firm, boil them for an additional 2 minutes at a time.

Check: Do not fill the pot more than ⅔ full. Discard the cooking water.

Step 3. Rinse the same pot, then add the egg and enough cold water to cover it by 2 cm. Once the water boils, cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, then cool the egg in cold water. Peel and cut it into 4 pieces. Check that the yolk is firm.

Check: Bring the water to a boil after adding the egg. Start the timer when the water begins to boil.

Step 4. Mix the yogurt, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Add the potatoes and egg after the steam has escaped, then gently fold them together with a spoon.

Check: Measure with the same household eating spoon. Do not overfill it with liquids or heap thick ingredients. A pinch is the amount lightly held between the tips of your thumb and index finger. Use plain, unsweetened yogurt. Toss the ingredients once the potatoes are no longer steaming. The time estimate includes boiling the potatoes and egg in succession using one pot.
