Wash the potatoes well, then pat them dry, and peel their skin off. Dice the potatoes, then put them in a pot filled with water. Drain off the cloudy water on the pot, then replace it or you can use chicken stock instead. If you’re using water, add some chicken bouillon powder to taste, then place the pot on a stove over medium-high heat, and bring it to a boil for about 6 minutes. Drain the water off the boiled potatoes, then put them in a large mixing bowl, and leave it to cool down. After letting it cool down for a few minutes, place it in a refrigerator to cool down completely. Now, place the eggs in a pot filled with water, then sprinkle some salt, and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, remove it from the heat, and cover it with the lid leaving it for about 14 minutes.
