Two Family-Friendly Dinner Recipes to End the Day

The article presents two easy dinner ideas for families, published by Yael Weiss on mako and updated on June 18, 2026, after first appearing on June 17, 2026. The choices are a potato salad with a half-boiled egg, tuna, and plphlchuma, or a mashed-potato-based bake with cheese and peas.

The first dish is a potato salad with tuna and preserved lemon that sits somewhere between Niçoise salad, tuna salad, and potato salad, but is meant to stand on its own. It uses small potatoes that can even be cooked in the microwave, and the egg is boiled for exactly five minutes to get the color and texture shown in the photo. Its distinctive twist comes from preserved lemons and plphlchuma, while lettuce and green beans are also suggested as part of the mix.

The second recipe is potato and pea muffins. The article says mashed potato and peas work so well together that it makes sense to combine them in more ways, and these muffins do that with eggs and grated cheese. The result is described as a child-friendly and adult-friendly savory bake that works as a snack on the go but also as a full dinner alongside a small salad.
