When the potatoes are cool enough to touch, peel and discard the skins. Once peeled, use your hands to break the potatoes into smaller pieces.

Drain the vinegar from the shallots over the potatoes and drizzle generously with the oil. Add the drained shallots. Gently mix with your hands. sprinkle heavily with the pepper and add more oil. Spoon large dollops of yogurt and aioli in each corner. Add the capers. Sprinkle the parsley and cilantro on top.

Step 5

Gently mix with your hands or a large spoon, being careful to leave each element intact and distinct.

Step 6

Bring a pot of water to boil. Once boiling, carefully place 6 eggs in the pot. Cook for 7 minutes. Remove the eggs, and place in a bowl of ice water. Once cool, peel carefully.

Step 7

Cut the eggs in half and place on top of the potato salad.
