You can serve the potato salad with tuna sauce as an appetizer, side dish or main course. It’s a dish that is perfect to take to the beach or for lunch at the office because it is eaten at room temperature and is really simple to prepare.
I made the tuna sauce coarse, but you can blend it more for a creamier effect or you can add tuna chunks and then blend the mayonnaise with the other ingredients for creaminess.
If you do as we do and add pieces of boiled eggs and red onion, you will have a dish rich in flavor because potatoes and tuna pair well with onion.

Preparation of potato salad with tuna sauce
To prepare the potato salad with tuna sauce first cook the eggs for 8 minutes from boiling point.
Cool them, peel them, and take the yolk from one egg and put it in an immersion blender cup.
Cut the other two eggs into wedges and set aside.
Cook the potatoes preferably with the skin using your preferred cooking method.
I cook them in the microwave by piercing the surface with a toothpick in several places.
If cooking in the microwave, it will take 2 minutes per potato; otherwise, boil them until they are soft but intact, then peel and cut into chunks.
Meanwhile, prepare the tuna sauce by placing the drained tuna in oil, the egg yolk, and the capers into the blender cup and start blending.
Incorporate the mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and a few basil leaves, and if needed, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Once the potatoes are cooked and at room temperature, place them in a bowl, add the thinly sliced Tropea onion, the chopped boiled eggs, and the tuna sauce.
