Directions
Chop onion, eggs, and mint together on a board until very finely chopped. Combine chopped mix with half of the lemon juice and the snipped chives, salt and pepper and mayonnaise in a bowl. Taste and add more lemon juice to your liking. Put potatoes in a steamer over boiling water - cook for around 10 minutes or until just cooked through but still firm. Do not over cook Lift potatoes off water and allow to steam dry for a minute or so. Put hot potatoes in a large bowl and fold through mayonnaise mix. Cover bowl with cling wrap: the potatoes will continue to steam and soak up the mayonnaise mix for ½ an hour or so. Stir once or twice. Chill and eat with barbeque
