The flavour and nutrition of EGGS is noticeably missing. Not worth the sacrifice….LOL. If you use ORGANIC pasture raised eggs the fat is anti inflammatory. Just eat less and the fat will NOT CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN. I eat one cup and do not exercise and do not gain weight. Cheers…..I LOVE POTAO SALAD AND ALLOW THAT CARB IN MY DIET.

Love potato salad too. Potatoes are a super food and sadly maligned because of the unhealthy stuff people fill them with.

I also like diced hard boiled egg in my potato salad and with diced spring onions rather than carrots and straight onions 😋

Eggs are a great addition to potato salad. I have made recipes in the past with or without them, just depends on what people like. There are so many varieties of potato salad recipes, each unique and different.

I like hard boiled eggs in mine also, it will change the nutritional value, but I agree it adds a nice flavor.
