Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Green peas
- 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 0.5 medium White or red onion
- 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and carrots. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes and dice the carrots into small pieces.
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.
In the same pot, add the diced carrots and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Drain and allow them to cool.
Cook the green peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes if fresh or frozen. If using canned peas, drain and rinse well. Set aside.
Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces. Finely dice the onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, carrots, green peas, hard-boiled eggs, and diced onions.
In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Gently stir everything together until evenly coated, being careful not to mash the potatoes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired for added color and flavor.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
