POTATO SALAD WITH MAYONNAISE - Bramborovy Salat s Majonezou

Potato  salad is very popular in the Czech and Slovak republics, in Germany and Austria. I think that the most popular way to serve the potato salad is with Wiener Schnitzel, which is a thinly sliced breaded veal and then deep fried. My mom served potato salad at Christmas time with breaded and fried carp.

2 lb. potatoes cooked with skin on, then peeled and diced (I prefer red potatoes for this particular salad - read HERE why)
5 hard boiled eggs - 4 eggs for the salad, 1 egg for decoration
1/2 cup diced pickled dills + couple dills for decoration - I use Vlasic Kosher Baby Dills
1/2 cup sliced hard salami or ham
1/2 small onion - finely chopped
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (green peas, carrots, corn...etc.) - cooked for about a minute
2 tsp mustard - I like THIS kind
Mayonnaise
Salt
Pepper
optional: 2-3 TBSP juice from Dills if you like your potato salad more sour

Combine all ingredients (salt, pepper and mayo to your taste). Top with a thin layer of mayonnaise and decorate with eggs and dills. Let sit in your refrigerator for few hours until all the flavors mix.

2 lb brambor, uvarit ve slupce, oloupat a nakrajet na kosticky
5 vajec natvrdo – 4 do salatu, jedno na ozdobu
1/2 mensi cibule najemno
1/2 hrnku nakrajeneho tvrdeho salamu nebo sunky
1 hrnek zmrazene zeleninove smesi (hrasek, mrkev, kukurice atd.) - lehce povarena
1/2 hrnku pokrajenych okurek
sul, pepr, majonezu podle chuti
mate-li radi kyselejsi salat, pridejte 2-3 lzice laku z okurek

Veskere prisady dejte do velke nadoby (misy) a zamichejte. Namazejte povrch tenkou vrstvou majonezy, ozdobte vajickem a okurkou nakrajenou do vejirku a dejte do lednicky odlezet, aby se vsechny chute "spojily".

  1. It is always nice to see how others make this 'simple' recipe. Plain ol' potato is open to so many ingredients to add to its flavor when cooked.

    Thanks!
