Ingredients

• 6 medium-sized potatoes
• 2 medium-sized carrots
• 1 cup green peas
• 3 large hard-boiled eggs
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
• 2 stalks, chopped green onions
• 1 teaspoon or to taste salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and carrots, then cut them into small cubes of roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook the cubed potatoes and carrots until tender but still holding their shape, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let them cool completely.

Step 3

While the potatoes and carrots are cooking, prepare the peas. If using fresh peas, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes or until tender, then drain and cool. If using frozen peas, thaw them in warm water and drain.

Step 4

Peel the hard-boiled eggs and chop them into small pieces.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, carrots, peas, and chopped eggs.

Step 6

In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, olive oil, lime juice, parsley, green onions, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well blended.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your taste.

Step 9

Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley or green onions if desired.
