In my version, I use carrots and peas, no corn, egg or onion, and I add tuna. I’ll have to try it with egg, as I love egg in potato salads of other varieties. This is something that my family requests all the time, and I am happy to make it… it is another comfort food that makes me homesick for Spain. Even though I only lived there for a few years, it is the most wonderful place in the world! 🙂
