Ingredients
Scale
- 1 carrot
- 4 whole eggs
- 6 potatoes, peeled
- 6 large pickles, cut into cubes
- ½ cup (118 ml / 4 fl oz) cubed fully cooked ham
- 1 (15 oz / 425 g) can of peas, drained
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- ½ cup (118 ml / 4 fl oz) mayonnaise
Instructions
- Boiling Prep: Bring water to a vigorous boil in a large pot, then simultaneously cook potatoes, carrots, and eggs for 12-14 minutes until vegetables are tender and eggs are hard-boiled.
- Cooling Process: Drain ingredients using a colander and let them rest for 10-15 minutes, allowing them to cool to a manageable temperature.
- Ingredient Breakdown: Peel eggs and systematically dice potatoes into uniform cubes, slice carrots into even pieces, and chop eggs into bite-sized segments.
- Mixing Technique: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine diced potatoes, sliced carrots, chopped eggs, finely chopped pickles, sweet green peas, and diced ham.
- Flavor Fusion: Sprinkle fresh dill over the mixture and introduce mayonnaise, gently folding all components until achieving a creamy, well-integrated consistency that ensures every ingredient is evenly coated.
Notes
- Prep Timing Matters: Cook potatoes, carrots, and eggs simultaneously to save time and maintain consistent texture.
- Cooling Technique: Let ingredients rest after boiling to prevent overcooking and make chopping easier.
- Uniform Cutting: Dice vegetables and eggs into similar-sized pieces for balanced flavor and professional presentation.
- Creamy Coating: Gently fold mayonnaise to ensure even distribution without breaking delicate ingredients.
