RUSSIAN POTATO SALAD (SALAT OLIVIER)
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.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use waxy potatoes. They hold their shape well when boiled and have a firm texture that's perfect for potato salad.
- Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
- To prevent the potatoes from absorbing too much water, drain them immediately after boiling and let them cool completely before adding them to the salad.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your potato salad. Some good options include carrots, celery, peas, and corn. You can also add hard-boiled eggs, pickles, or bacon.
- Use a mayonnaise-based dressing for your potato salad. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as mustard, sour cream, or yogurt.
- Season the potato salad to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
- Serve the potato salad chilled. It can be served as a side dish or a main course.
Conclusion:
