SPANISH POTATO SALAD - ENSALADA RUSA

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes to clean off any loose dirt and sand.
• Pour water into a large pot, cover and bring to a boil on high heat. Place potatoes in the pot and boil them with skins on until they are cooked, but not too soft. Test the doneness by pricking with a fork to make sure they are cooked but still firm. Don't overcook the potatoes, or you'll end up with mashed potatoes when mixing your salad.
• Boil the eggs until hard . Cool the eggs.
• Drain the water from the pot and add cold water to the pot, covering the potatoes. Change water every few minutes until the potatoes are cool enough to handle with your bare hands. Refrigerate for a few minutes to cool further.
• Remove from refrigerator and peel potatoes. Cut into small (approximately 1/2-inch cubes). Return to refrigerator while you prepare the other ingredients.
• Put approximately 1 1/2 cups of mayonnaise into a bowl. Slice 1 of the roasted pepper into strips about 1/3-inch wide, then cut into smaller pieces and add to bowl.
• Drain tuna thoroughly, then flake with a fork and add to bowl.
• Drain carrots and peas and add to bowl.
• Peel 1 egg, chop and add to bowl.
• Mix all ingredients together.
• Add the mayonnaise mixture to the potatoes and mix thoroughly. If necessary, add more mayonnaise. Smooth top of potato salad, preparing for decoration. Traditionally, a thin layer of mayonnaise is spread over the top of the salad using the back side of a large spoon. Slice remaining red pepper into thin strips and arrange on top of salad.

Steps:

• Wash and peel the potatoes and carrots. Cut them into cubes, the size you want, though the final size of the carrots should be smaller.
• Bring them to a boil in a large pot covered with water. Cook them for 25 minutes and when that time passes add the eggs. Continue cooking everything for 10 more minutes so the eggs get cooked.
• Drain them and let them cool, if you put them in a bowl and cover them with a bag you can let them cool in the fridge and you'll save some time.
• Meanwhile cut the olives, this step is optional but I recommend that you do it especially if your olives have a pit.
• Grab the bowl with the boiled vegetables, cut the boiled eggs, and put them there too. Now mix the peas, tuna, parsley, and mayonnaise in that same bowl. The final amount of mayonnaise is up to you, but if you use the listed amount, it'll be perfect.
