In our home, a potato salad will almost always have hard-boiled eggs and green onion in it, but in the case of this Polish Potato Salad, I'm adding finely chopped dill pickles, fresh dill, green peas, and minced white onions too!
4large russet potatoes,peeled and cut into 3/4 inch dice
1cupcarrots,peeled and cut into 1/2 inch dice
1/2teaspoonsalt

Instructions
Add the diced carrots and diced potatoes to a pot and cover them by an inch with cold water. Add the salt. Bring to a boil and cook until carrots and potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
Once the carrots and potatoes are fully cooled, transfer them to a large mixing bowl along with the hard-boiled eggs, dill pickles, green peas, white onion, green onions, dill, mayonnaise, sugar, and ground black pepper.
Using a large spoon, mix and fold all of the ingredients together.
Taste for seasoning and sweetness and adjust accordingly.
You may serve the salad immediately, however for best results, transfer the salad to a bowl with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
