Russian Potato Salad Olivier From South Russia

There are so many versions of this salad. This is one of the simplest russian salads. I do not think i know anybody who didn't like this salad after they tried it. I believe every russian lady knows how to cook this one in her own way. Here is my version of this traditional russian salad.

Steps

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.

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.

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.
