I see myself in the way you sheepishly over-explain your choices and preferences. Thank you for sharing such a lovely recipe. You have a natural ability to make things beautiful and appealing. Kudos to you for adding in those potatoes and kicking away the doubt. You will never regret being courageous and I for one appreciate what you do in your own perfect style. 💛

I feel like adding potatoes does not make it a potato salad unless you have a larger ratio of potatoes to eggs

You know what? I have been watching your videos the last few weeks and think that you are such a fun-loving, kind and delightful person. Your family and friends are so very lucky to have you in their lives. ❤️😃

I made this with a pound of potatoes for an 'eggy potato salad' for my housewarming party and it went over so well! So good!!!

After boiling the eggs for hard boiled I run cold water into the pot and gently crunch eggs against the side of the sink. Than under the the cold running water I remove the shell.

I'd be larger than life if I stayed in the same house with him.

I’ve made MANY of his recipes, and so far, they’re all easy and DELICIOUS!

I add my eggs to boiling water. Boil for 13 min. Cool in an ice bath. I never have any issues peeling. I think the ice bath is the key.

I wasn't going to try this because I'm an egg salad purist and it didn't appeal to me but...when you spoke so tenderly to your sandwich with the words, "you complete me" you captured my heart. I will DEFINITELY be trying your version WITH that bread.

I just made this for brunch, so creamy, crunchy and delicious. Thank you for your recipe. Stay safe and be well, John! Love from Saigon, Vietnam 🥰

Pumpernickel is my family’s second favorite bread (after rye)! I hard cook my eggs via sous vide and always add relish/pickles/green olives to my egg salad along with shallots and celery. Love fresh dill too! You rock John.

"Without all the mayo" was the reason I clicked on this recipe, yet he was still generous with the mayo... Adding herbs is right up my street, nice twist.

John, make sure your eggs aren't "fresh". Use ones that you have had for at least a week in your fridge....ice bath after cooking makes for an easy peel.

It is dependent on the freshness of the eggs. The newer the egg the harder it will be to peel. Also keep in the eggs in the pot and shock them under running cold water. Drain out the water and shake them in the pot top break up the shells and the shells should slide off easily.

I always add pickles... either sweet or dill depending on the tastes of your family. ❤🌅🌵

I love Pumpernickel 😋 your egg salad looks amazing - will try asap

OMG - I just got gifted with some pumpernickel bread, so am now going to have to make this salad to slather on a slice of it!

This German watcher of your video really appreciates the Pumpernickel which I think is German ! ♡ thanks for your enthusiastic love of good food ♡

This is my first video from you and I just wanted to say that you have a super relaxing attitude and give off such a calming energy. And the recipe looks delicious

John this egg salad looks amazing. Yes I will be giving it a try. As I love egg salad. Thank you for sharing. So until next time God Bless you.

I made this today for lunch for my family. Everyone loved it! Especially the dill and apple ❤️ thank you! Forever my go to egg salad recipe from now on

I love pumpernickel bread, makes great toast. I put capers in my egg salad.

OMG 😃 this is one of the best egg salad recipes I've ever tried, definitely top 5. I toasted rye bread and it was amazingggg. Thank you👍

We just made this recipe today. I wasn’t sure about the addition of potatoes & apples but it totally works. It was delicious!

I knew right from the start that this was not going to be a recipe I would make (I am very traditional when it comes to my egg salad - lol), but I still watched the video all the way through, twice, because I love John! He is so down to earth, warm and funny, he is just a joy to watch in the kitchen. This recipe is interesting though and if one day I am ever feeling particularly daring, who knows? I might just break down and put a few potatoes and apples in my egg salad. ;)

I put my eggs in ice water as soon as I take them off the stove. Then once I’m ready to peel, I lightly smash an egg on the counter and roll it back and forth under my palm until all sides of the egg have been crunched up. Shell should come right off! Sometimes in one or two big pieces, but easily either way.

OMG! I just made this and it IS by far the BEST egg salad I've ever had! Even my children love it! It will be a crowd pleaser dish forsake.

I love how you encourage experimenting with flavors.

Yes good recipe John, and yes I have had the bread, it is a European thing, and I thoroughly enjoy open-faced sandwiches on a hearty bread!!! Keep up the good work Ontario, Canada!

Pumpernickel bread is so delicious. I think that if you grilled the bread in real butter would taste so yum with the egg salad.

I loved this recipe, thank you for sharing it! I never thought about putting potatoes in egg salad before but they will be in there from now on! 🥚❤🥔

Just made this, and it was so good, introduced me to fresh dill, amazing flavor! The combination was perfect. Tried two tips for the eggs that worked really good, I rolled the eggs on the table and used a teaspoon to help me remove the shell.

I love pumpernickel bread. My mama always put apples in tuna salad. They are delicious

Ahaha! 😄 Can't wait to see you in Cut The Core Away From The Flesh. 😂🤣😄 John, you're a riot. Yeah, you just do you. 😄 Definitely egg salad with some extras. The sandwich bread looked great. Pepperidge farms makes a nice pumpernickel. ❤👍

Thank you so so much for that recipe! I‘m always a little bit scared when it comes to fruits in salads, but the sweetness of the apple fits perfectly! And I make a little whole in my eggs before cooking them, and after cooking I rinse them with cold water. Prevents them from cracking in the pot and makes it way easier to peel. Greetings from Germany🤗

Omg I love love love this recipe and my favorite bread is pumpernickel. Amazing choice and also love pumpernickel toasted with butter. Love your videos.

Is no one going to talk about the "cut the flesh away from the core"??? XDDD that editing had me dead 💀💀💀😂

I like to slip a teaspoon between the shell and egg; it’s magic in removing the shell from a boiled egg

My father is German so I grew up with pumpernickel and rye bread and love them both. I bought pumpernickel bread yesterday so that I can finally make this recipe and eat it the way you did. I cannot wait to try it and I know it's going to be fabulous.

I made your egg salad and it is delicious! Like the sweetness of the apple and the crunch of the celery. It is going into my recipe file. Thank you! 😍💋

I tap eggs on the counter and then roll them with my hand, using just enough force to crack the shell into small pieces. The shell is then easy to peel.

This guy is adorable and I love his recipes.

Love pumpernickel bread I grew up in Chile and we always had it at the table & for sure going to try your egg salad recipe looks amazing thank you....

You are so fun to watch & your recipes are so good! Thank you& keep on being you❤❤❤😘

Looks delicious! I'm from Holland and we call that bread 'Roggebrood'. So good! :-D

This is the first vid I came across that used apples in a egg salad... curious to try. Seems like a more healthy choice. TY!

I made this recipe last night, and it was totally delicious. Amazing how that apple kicked it up a notch. I was looking for a new egg salad recipe because for years now I've been making Bobby Flay's Smoked Paprika Egg Salad, which is delicious, but I just wanted a new taste and this really was good. A nice change of pace. Sometimes I make egg salad with Honey-Mustard dressing which is also a recipe. Really like the apple, gives it a nice crunch and just a bit of sweetness. Very good.

Looks fabulous! Going to make it for sure!👍🏼💗💗💗

Lovely! The fresh dill is one of my favorites also, even added to a green salad it adds such a great dash of fresh flavor. The egg dilemma is one that I have conquered 3 ways. I put some vinegar in the water when I boil it, And putting into an ice bath immediately upon taking it out of the boiling water separates the membrane from the shell. Rolling it before peeling makes the shell come off in a sheet instead of large unbreakable parts that take egg with it. The onion dicing is easiest if you keep the end on with the little hairs intact. Then slice into the onion both ways holding onto it, length side and crosswise, then end by putting the knife through as you dice it falls apart. At the end just cut up to where you can to and leave the last piece of off to save for soup or bone broth. Love the bread, especially the sunflower flavor that you can get at Trader Joe's/ Aldi, etc. BTW, did you know that Trader Joe's and Aldi are owned by brothers? One went with the more trendy upscale branding and the other split off and went the Aldi route offering high quality but without all the frills attached. Anyways, thanks for sharing. Loved the recipe. I have always used apples in my "Auntie Anne's Potato Salad", but had never tried it in my egg salad. AWESOME flavor! I am a disabled woman who has had to learn life from a wheelchair for the past 10 years. It's been both devistating and challenging, but cooking has helped me feel like I can still accomplish something. Thanks again for the fun shows! They give me hope.

Un profesor me enseñó a pasar los huevos por agua con hielo y recién pelarlos, para evitar que la cáscara se pegue al menos. Me encanta la ensalada de huevo y esta versión se ve deliciosa!

I love your enthusiasm and spark to all your recipes...what an artist ! 💗🙏🏻✨

One of the loveliest/yummiest salads,thanks John

Ohhhh he quoted a scene from Jane Austen’s adaptation “Pride and prejudice” 💕💕💕

Add a pinch of salt when boiling the eggs or a teaspoon of vinegar. Also you can shock the eggs with cold tap water.it helps.

Your videos are an absolute joy to watch ★...your recipes are just awesome♥♥! Thank you for sharing & making us smile with you .

Oh my gosh John! Your vids make me so happy! Love Preppy Kitchen!

I don't like egg salad but I enjoyed this video 💕.

Pumpernickel is my favorite bread. I do not like egg salad, however yours sounds good.

This is next on my list. I LOVE the potato idea. That salad looks perfect! (And pumpernickel bread....yes, Yes, YES!!!). Thank you for this recipe!

This looks really good! Thank you, John!

Watches both PewDiePie and Preppy kitchen My brain: Chop chop

In denmark most of us eat pumpernikel/ Rye bread every day.

I try this with and without potatoes and is delicious. My family and friends enjoyed it very much. Thank you 🙏

Top notch egg salad! I made it today and loved it! 😋

Yikes with the knife scraping! Turn it over and scrape with the dull side.

Om gosh. John! Never scrape your cutting board with the sharp side of your knife! It is a sure way to dull immediately!

I will definitely be trying out this unique and delicious sounding egg salad!

I love your videos. Thanks for posting such high quality content.

Never liked egg salad or potato salad, but this salad was amazing. The apple and those buttery potatoes were a game changer. I sprinkled my egg salad toast with some bacon. It was so good. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Pumpernikel and eggs? You can't go wrong with that

Your fun personality makes it a great cooking video to watch and enjoy. Your cakes are great, but glad to see you mix it up. I am a fan, John.

I am from German/Polish roots and was raised on Pumpernickel bread. Love it!!

Please make a video on how to make CINNAMON ROLLS!!!!

I'm sorry, but you are a good looking cook! Love watching your recipes!

I just made this egg salad. A complete hit!!! This was delicious!!!

Egg salad is one of my favorite, I like your addition.

you should poke each egg with a needle at the bottom to make the eggs peel easily before boiling. This will prevent them from cracking as well

"as you can imagine I get tapped pretty hard..." and then the save "for the food stuff" ;)

Hi John! I adore your channel. Thanks for all the great recipes and tips. Here’s my tip for perfect, easy to peel eggs: -Bring the water to a boil. Make sure there’s enough water to cover the eggs you are boiling. -Gently add the eggs in one by one. (Keep eggs in the fridge until you add them to the pot. I use a slotted spoon to lower them individually into the boiling water). -Boil eggs for 11 minutes. -Remove from heat and dunk eggs in ice cold water. -Let sit for a couple minutes, then peel. They peel perfectly every time. Been doing this for years and there’s only been two or three times when my eggs got stuck to the shell. Hope this helps. Good luck!

If you add a little bit of white vinegar while you are boiling your eggs, they will peel like a dream!

Title says “Without all the Mayo”. Why are you adding mayo then??

I do experiment often. Thanks for these ideas! I love love pumpernickel ‼️

Looks delicious, thanks for sharing your recipe

Pumpernickel is a German bread 😂 It’s the sweeter version of our Schwarzbrot (Black bread)

Yeah, cucumber, if by cucumber you mean celery...😉
