Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 lb potatoes (approx. 2 large)
  • 3 oz large carrot (approx. 1 large)
  • ½ cup canned peas
  • 1 egg
  • cup Sour pickles (approx. 2 small pickles)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp grainy mustard
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Start by boiling the potatoes and carrots in a pot with water. You don’t need to peel them just wash them. Once cooked, remove from the water to cool.

  • Next, cook an egg until the yolk is set. Set a small pot of water to boil. Once the water is boiling add the egg and cook for 8 minutes. Once cooked, move to a bowl with cold water to cool.
    1 egg
  • Now it’s time to dice the pickles and chop the parsley.
    1/3 cup Sour pickles
  • Open the can of peas and drain it.
    ½ cup canned peas
  • Once the potatoes, carrots and egg are cooked and have cooled, dice them into 1/8-inch cubes.
  • Finally, wash and chop the fresh parsley.
    1 tbsp fresh parsley
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and gently toss until well combined. I like to use silicone spatulas for this as they are more gentle on the veggies.

  • Serve on its own or as a side. I recommend you make it ahead as it tastes better the next day.
