Russian Potato Salad…Yum, Yum!
Last week a friend of mine came over to show me how to make her Russian Potato Salad. Sometimes you just need the expert to give you an in-person lesson! Thanks Tatiana!
We didn’t use any measurements but I googled Russian Potato Salad and came up with some measurments. However, you can adjust the amount of every ingredient to taste.
Russian Potato Salad
6 potatoes, peeled, boiled and chopped
6 eggs, hardboiled, peeled and chopped
6 dill pickles, chopped (we used a bunch of petite dill pickles)
Chicken thighs, boiled and chopped into bite-size pieces
1 (14 oz.) can peas, drained
3 large carrots, peeled, boiled and chopped (we used a bunch of baby carrots so we didn’t have to peel)
Fresh dill, chopped (Maybe 1/2 of a bunch?)
Mayonnaise
Salt and Pepper to taste
We added corn and next time I will add onion. You can go light on the mayo or heavy. I think you can go fairly light on the mayo because of the moist dark chicken meat, peas and corn. Much less mayo than a regular potato salad or chicken salad. You want everything chopped up really small. This is delicious!
Oh yeah!!!! Another wonderful recipe and picture to match. I think I just gained 5lbs, but I’m drooling so much it doesn’t matter. Can’t wait to make this. Thank you for exciting my appetite……

Your Dad prefers potato salad the way your Nana made it! Your great Aunt Betty made a dish pan- size bowl of the famous potato salad when we were there for Memorial weekend.
Awhile ago, you asked how people like their cornbread. Your Dad likes it thick, salty with lots of butter. So even though I prefer my cornbread thin and crusty, I make it thick. The church friends who came to Sunday lunch(5-31-09) were from Minnesota, South Carolina and Nigeria. They ate whatever was served and showed gratitude. Of course, they are coming again for another Sunday where love and fellowship take precedent over the food. Your Dad is sending photos of Ivan, 5 yrs. old and Abigail 3 yrs. old. Yes, they are our grandchildren from Nigeria.
Please give hugs and kisses to Lauren and Carmen and of course to Dave.

That looks good Lana, I might have to try it. Thanks. I love the picture of you and Carmen too. She sure is tall. God bless. In Christ, Joe
Wow! That looks delicious!! My mother and Oma were the queens of German Potato Salad. I try, but it’s just not quite the same. I’ll be giving the Russian style a try real soon and let you know how it turns out!
I loved the picture of you and Carmen, too. It was beautiful!!
Hope you’re having a good day….we’re getting ready for more storms in KC this afternoon!
Love, Janet
