Russian Potato Salad Olivier (From South Russia)
- 4 medium idaho potatoes
- 5 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 medium pickle
- 12 English cucumber
- 16 ounces canned peas, drained
- 1 green apple
- 1 (16 ounce) package bologna (I prefer chicken bologna)
- 12 cup mayonnaise (more or less depending on your taste)
- 14 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 14 teaspoon pepper (optional)
- Boil potatoes and eggs, let cool.
- Shred potatoes and eggs using hand grinder or cut into 1/4-inch dice.
- Dice bologna, cucumbers and/or pickles as well as apple.
- (pill apple beforehand).
- Drain the can of peas.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well adding salt, pepper and mayonnaise as needed.
- Move well mixed salad into a large serving bowl.
- Note: if you prefer creamier salad, shred your ingredients, if you prefer to taste each ingredient in your salad cut them.
- I prefer shredding, I think it tastes better and takes less time to prepare.
- You can also add shredded fresh or cooked carrots, as well as diced of azalea onion.
- I usually cook my potatoes and eggs a day before and let them stand in refrigerator.
- Also, if you short on time, you can make this salad a day before, but do not put mayonnaise until ready to serve.
