Recipe Notes

  • Note that the total time didn’t include the chilling time.
  • I only cooked the potatoes and eggs. Eggs take less time to cook in water so they need to be removed before the potatoes are cooked or you can cook the eggs separately from the potatoes.
  • I like to use fresh carrots but if you want to cook your carrots in water, go for it.
