Add the black pepper to taste.", "Add the mayonnaise mixture to the potatoes and mix well but try not to break the potatoes up. Add the cornichons, ham & spring onions to the potato salad - mix through gently.", "Taste and add more Maggi seasoning or black pepper if required.", "Put into an attractive bowl and sprinkle more spring onions on as a garnish or parsley. I also like to sprinkle on smoked paprika as a garnish topping too.", "Optional:", "Instead of the ham, use crisply fried bacon. Great with egg - egg & bacon potato salad! Instead of the spring onions, use diced red onions.", "I have also added diced left over chicken & chopped apple to this mixture.", "I have given the option of using more or less mayonnaise mixture for personal taste; some people like it very creamy & others like it not so creamy!", "Maggi seasoning is quite salty, so use 1 tablespoon to start with, adding more if needed - teaspoon by teaspoon!"]
