Potato Salad (Salad E Oliveh)
- 6 to 8 potatoes (I like Yukon Gold. If the potatoes are large, use 6. If they're medium-small, use 8.)
- 1 cup cornichons, chopped
- 1 small chicken (baked or boiled and shredded; you could use leftover chicken too)
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1/4 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for serving
- 1 to 2 cups mayonnaise (homemade or store-bought)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup canned, fresh, or frozen baby peas
- Bread of your choice, for serving. I like with either warmed flat bread or baguette drizzled with olive oil and toasted.
- Lemon wedges
- Chopped chives, for serving
- Peel potatoes and boil them whole, until they are fork tender but not falling apart. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Mash with a hand-held masher.
- Chop the cornichons. In a large bowl, mix the cornichons, shredded chicken, hard-boiled egg, and potatoes. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and 1 cup of mayonnaise. Add more mayonnaise according to your taste. Salt and pepper to taste. Then, add the peas, gently incorporating so you don't mash them.
- Refrigerate overnight. When you serve, heat your bread. Squeeze lemon and drizzle olive oil over the salad and garnish with chives. Scoop with the warm bread.
