Ingredients

  • 1 carrot
  • 4 potatoes
  • 2 tbsp. mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Peel the potatoes and carrots. Cook them in a pot of boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes. To check if the potatoes are cooked through, prick them with a knife: they should be melting. The carrots should remain slightly crunchy.
  2. Drain the potatoes and carrots. Coarsely mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher. Cut the carrots into slices or small pieces, as you prefer.
  3. In a large salad bowl, mix the mayonnaise with salt and pepper. Add the vegetables and mix gently to coat the potatoes and carrots with the sauce.
  4. You can refrigerate this salad for 30 minutes to keep it fresh. Perfect as an accompaniment to grilled meats or fish dishes.
