This Greek-style potato salad recipe is one I found when I was looking for a recipe to use up all the quail eggs I had.
I have 4 quail and 16 chickens on my allotment so I am more than self-sufficient in the egg department.
I scale up this recipe for family gatherings and community get-togethers and it has proved to be very popular.
In fact, I am now getting requests for this potato salad so it must be good!

Instructions
- Bring a medium pan of water to a simmer. Lower the quail’s eggs into the water and cook for 2½ mins. Lift out the eggs with a slotted spoon and put them into a bowl of cold water. Add the beans to the pan, simmer for 4 mins until tender, then remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and plunge into the bowl of cold water.
- Put the potatoes in the pan and boil for 10-15 mins until tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and leave them to cool. While the potatoes are cooling, peel the eggs and cut them in half. Toss the potatoes and beans with the chopped anchovy, herbs and lemon juice. Top with the quail’s eggs to serve.
