RUSSIAN POTATO SALAD (SALAT OLIVIER)

Russian Potato Salad (Salat Olivier) image

This very flexible salad is great with meats, on picnics, with all sorts of things. It is fine in the fridge for a few days. Vary the ingredients and seasonings to taste (and convenience). The finer the chopping, the more "gourmet" it is to Russians. The technique here is easy; it just takes a lot of chopping, so give yourself enough time.

Steps:

Cook potatoes and eggs.
Chop everything and put in large container.

This is a great make-ahead salad. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld together and it was so creamy and delicious.

This salad was a bit too mayonnaise-heavy for my taste. I would recommend using less mayonnaise or adding some sour cream to lighten it up. Otherwise, the flavors were good.
