Slovak Easter potatoe salad

5 lbs of potatoes (choose a type of potato with a smooth skin. “New” or “golden” potatoes are good. 

3-4 large carrots peeled and cut into approx. 3 inch chunks
6-8 large pickles
4 eggs – hard boiled
1 small to medium onion5 lbs of potatoes (choose a type of potato with a smooth skin. “New” or “golden” potatoes are good.
3-4 large carrots peeled and cut into approx. 3 inch chunks
6-8 large pickles                                                                        
4 eggs – hard boiled
1 small to medium onion
mustard
mayonnaise
black pepper
salt to taste



Directions: Boil the potatoes whole, with the skin on. When they are cooked, drain the water and let them cool. Make hard-boiled eggs and boil the carrots. When the potatoes are cool to the touch, peel the skin away with a dull knife. Cut the potatoes into small pieces and place in a large bowl. Cube the cooked carrots into small pieces. Also chop the pickles into small pieces. Add the carrots, pickles, onion, and the chopped eggs to the potatoes. Mix in a couple of tablespoons of mustard (whatever kind you prefer) and several tablespoons of mayonnaise (depending on how much you like. I p salad to be a bit more dry). Add salt and pepper to taste.
