- Pour ½ of dressing over hot potatoes and egg. Toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until completely cool, 60 - 90 minutes or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining dressing.

Many have come to think of potatoes as The Bad Guys because of their carb content but they are also packed with nutrition! They’re low in cost, can help regulate blood sugar and improve digestive health!
Suggestion: Hard-boiled eggs keep in the refrigerator for one week so consider making a few extra while you’ve got the water rolling! They make a great snack alone, pickled, deviled or in egg salad.
