Preparation

Scrub potatoes and dice into 3/4-inch (2 cm) pieces. Cook in large pot of salted water until tender. Drain well; let cool slightly.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mash eggs with a fork. Whisk in mayonnaise, cream, sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, onions, and mint, until creamy. Add warm potatoes to dressing; add a pinch of salt. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

To serve, in a medium bowl toss berries, arugula and balsamic vinegar; reserve some of the berries and arugula. Fold berry mixture into potato salad. Serve in a bowl or on a platter; garnish with reserved berries and arugula.
