About Potato Scotch Eggs
Scotch Potato “Eggs” are a twist on traditional Scotch Eggs, the sausage-wrapped eggs, which are dipped in bread crumbs for crisp crust. But for this recipe of Scotch potato eggs, we have replaced the egg with a small potato. This is another great snack food our chef created for our visitors.
How to Hard Boil Eggs
- Place eggs in Meyer Select Stainless Steel Milk Pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add cold water to cover the eggs by 1 inch. To boil, heat them over high heat for about 4-5 minutes (soft-boiled eggs) and 9-15 minutes to make them hard-boiled eggs.
- Remove from the stove and cover the pan. Let eggs stand in hot water for about 15 minutes for large eggs. (Note : 12 minutes for medium eggs; 18 minutes for extra-large).
- Drain the water immediately and serve warm; or else you can cool them completely under cold running water or in a bowl of ice water, then refrigerate.
