Why I Love This Recipe
When a person who grew up in the former Soviet Union thinks of Russian food, Salad Olivier is one of the first things that come to mind. In fact, the taste of fresh homemade Olivier is one of my favorite childhood memories, which is surely something I share with a lot of people. When done right, the combination of savory potatoes, sweet peas and carrots, and salty pickles becomes irresistible. Olivier was traditionally made only on special occasions, such as birthday parties and New Year’s Eve celebrations. Traditions aside, this dish is easy enough to prepare any time you have half an hour to spare, as long as the potatoes, eggs, and carrots are cooked ahead of time. It is also filling enough and nutritious enough to make a meal in itself.

3 medium russet potatoes

1/2 teaspoon salt, add more as needed
