New tatties - chopped, boiled, cooled. Huge blob of mayo (not forced myself to make it, but told it's not difficult   ) handfull of chopped chives, and yummmm.

Leftovers go in the fridge and last about...erm...2 mins. Must remember not to carry that dam spoon around with me.

I usually add some finely chopped onions too.Mmmm.Leftovers?What are they? I'd rather do without than buy it and it's a favorite here.

dont bother cooling the tatties noting better than warm tattie salad, def go with the onions

mayo dead easy to make esp if you have a food processor or electric wisk

4 egg yolks
1 3/4 cups vegetable oil
4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon mustard

mix all bar the oil in food processor then leave turned on full and drizzle the oil in slowly through the top hey presto home made mayo

Rightiho - knew it wasn't tricky - that's white wine vinegar and mustard on the shopping list for tomorrow. It's far too tasty already, bet it's even better with home made mayo. Wish i had some left in the fridge...my spoon's at the ready...wonder what I'll find in there.

maybe you should have a go at playing the spoons then youve got an excuse for carrying spoons, if anyone says anything then play a tune,   if there still inquisitive then crack them on the head like a boiled egg.

I made some tattie salad last week, as Maria's, but with the extra addition of fresh chopped mint... yum

And if you're missing the mayo (or eggs for mayo), try it with a vinaigrette over the top absolutely delish and feels healthier
