Russian Potato Salad (Salat Olivier) image

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.

  • Cook potatoes and eggs.
  • Chop everything and put in large container.
