Instructions
- Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add the eggs, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the potatoes are nearly fork-tender and the eggs are hard-boiled, about 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold running water until cool enough to handle, about 1 minute.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Cover immediately and let them finish cooking in their own steam on the warm burner for 10–15 minutes.
- Transfer the potatoes to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the garlic, vinegar, curry powder, and onion powder.
- Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and honey, whisking until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut the potatoes in half, or into quarters if large.
- Peel and coarsely chop the eggs.
- Add the warm potatoes and eggs to the dressing and gently toss to coat. Adjust salt, if needed.
- Sprinkle with chives, if using.
- Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
