Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 1 cup Green peas
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Peel and dice the carrots into small cubes.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the diced potatoes and carrots and boil until tender but firm, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let cool.
While the potatoes and carrots are boiling, prepare the hard-boiled eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and place the eggs in cold water to cool, then peel and chop into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, carrots, chopped eggs, green peas, green onions, and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss until fully coated. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish at barbecues, picnics, or family meals.
