Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 cup Green peas
• 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 0.5 medium White or red onion
• 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and carrots. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes and dice the carrots into small pieces.

Step 2

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced carrots and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Drain and allow them to cool.

Step 4

Cook the green peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes if fresh or frozen. If using canned peas, drain and rinse well. Set aside.

Step 5

Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces. Finely dice the onion.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, carrots, green peas, hard-boiled eggs, and diced onions.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Gently stir everything together until evenly coated, being careful not to mash the potatoes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired for added color and flavor.

Step 10

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
