Olivier Salad

Ingredients

Intro

Hearty Russian potato salad alternative. Choice of pickles makes a huge difference here. Typically would use an Israeli brand of canned pickles that worked very well for this recipe, but that is no longer an option. Can try using homemade pickles, or your favorite alternative. Do not use pickles with a heavy vinegar taste!

Directions

  1. Boil potatoes for about 25 minutes, or until tender.
  2. Boil carrots and eggs (15 minutes and 10 minutes respectively), or until tender. Do not overboil, or carrots and potatoes become mushy.
  3. Dice potatoes to about 1 centimeter cubes. Dice eggs, carrots, and pickles to 1/2 centimeter cubes. Mix all ingredients together with peas
  4. Add mayo and sour cream and mix well.
