Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 2/3 cups mushrooms jarred
- 1 cup dill pickles
- salt to taste; I used 1 tsp for the boiling water + 1 tsp for seasoning the potatoes
- ground black pepper to taste; I used 1 tsp
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 4 tbsp parsley fresh
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in a pot with salted water.
- Meanwhile, chop the pickles into 1/2-inch pieces and slice the mushrooms.
- Drain the boiled potatoes and cover them in cold water along with a few ice cubes. Let the potatoes cool off for about 20 minutes.
- Peel the cooled potatoes, then chop them into 3/4-inch pieces and transfer them into a large bowl.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and gently stir them with a spoon or a wooden spatula.
- Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, pickles, and mushrooms in a separate bowl.
- Stir everything together and add the mixture to the potatoes. Keep stirring until all the vegetables are well combined.
- Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the potatoes. Lightly stir the salad so the parsley evenly coats all of the vegetables.
- Refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours.
Notes
- The time estimates do not include how long it takes the water to come to a boil because everyone's stovetop is different. On mine, it takes about an hour.
- The time estimates also do not include the time the potatoes cool off after boiling since, again, it will be different for everyone.
- When mixing the boiled potatoes with the mayonnaise be careful not to squish them.
- If you can, use sliced jarred mushrooms to save time.
- You can peel the potatoes before boiling them but I find boiling them with the skins on retains their flavor better.
