Night record

Planning here works on its own. Once a night starts, it travels between the three tools by itself.

Cooking notes

Jammy-egg asparagus potato salad with dill skyr

Eggs and dressing hold; potatoes want to be dressed while they still have heat. Herb, egg and warm potato want acid, not oak. Dry cider or a quiet Riesling; buttermilk-dill soda if skipping alcohol.

Base recipe

This is the base recipe: one batch, 4 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.

What does not scale

Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.

Cooking time
About 25 minutes on the stove at this scale. Bringing a bigger volume up to temperature takes longer than the multiple suggests; the simmer afterwards does not.
Method
  1. Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for jammy-egg asparagus potato salad with dill skyr, not a certified kitchen test.
  2. Amounts below are one batch: 4 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
  3. Stovetop occupancy is about 25 minutes at this scale. Bring to a simmer, finish, hold covered.
  4. Holds about 40 minutes once finished. After that, quality drops — do not invent extra time.
  5. Drink pairing: Dry cider or a quiet Riesling; buttermilk-dill soda if skipping alcohol.
  6. Leftover route: If assembled early, give it 15–20 minutes out of the fridge before serving.
  7. Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Make-ahead

Day-of only. Do not make this ahead and invent a hold.

Scaling

Base recipe: one batch, 4 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: about 25 minutes at the stove either way.

Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
