Olivier salad

This mayonnaise-dressed potato salad is also known as a Russian salad - it is said to have been invented by French chef Lucien Olivier in the 1800s, who worked at the Hermitage, a famous Russian restaurant in Moscow. It lends itself to playing around with additional ingredients such as cooked meat, pickles or other vegetables and fruit.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes, unpeeled
  • 3 carrots, unpeeled
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 large dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 1 cup whole egg mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped dill
  • Salt and black pepper
Resting time: 30 minutes

Instructions

  1. Combine the potatoes and carrots in a large saucepan, then cover with cold water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 25 minutes until tender. Drain well and allow to cool to room temperature. Peel with a paring knife and cut into 1 cm cubes.
  2. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil and boil the eggs for 8 minutes. Refresh in iced water, then peel and cut into 1 cm cubes. Pour boiling water over the peas and stand for 1 minute, then drain and cool to room temperature.
  3. Combine the potatoes, carrots, eggs, peas and remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mix gently to combine. Season well with salt and pepper. Allow to stand for 30 minutes if you can, before serving. It will improve over time.
