Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 48 ounces potatoes (6 large potatoes, peeled and cooked, or more)
  • 108 to 120 grams green olives (18 to 20 stuffed green olives, sliced, more or less as desired)
  • 1 1/2 ounces carrot (1/2 raw carrot, finely diced or coarse grated)
  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons mustard
  • 1 teaspoons cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons olive juice
  • Salt and pepper
  • FOR EXTRAS
  • Sliced onion rings
  • Sliced green pepper strips
  • Deviled eggs
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Boil potatoes till done; cool a little and dice into a large bowl.

  • Step 2: In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, olive juice, vinegar, salt and pepper, sliced olives, and carrot.

  • Step 3: Mix the above into WARM (see note) potatoes slowly as I don't know how much you will need (if you have any dressing left over, make deviled eggs with it to put around the salad).

  • Step 4: Put into a covered container and put thinly sliced onion rings and thinly sliced green pepper on top; refrigerate.

  • NOTE: I found, during this past year (2011) while I was watching a cooking show on TV, that if you mix a potato salad while the potatoes are still warm, the dressing absorbs into the potato better. I tried it and it worked and now I will never do it any other way
