Potato salad, Russian potato salad.

This salad is very famous in Russian culture. In Mongolia too. We call it Niislel salad. This salad can be served as a side dish or enjoyed on its own. Every family has its own recipe.  I made my own.  You can use boiled beef instead of Russian or Polish bologna.  It’s a very yummy and colourful salad.

Please enjoy and Good luck 😉

Ingredients:

– 5-6  medium  potatoes peeled, cubed, and then boiled

– 1  small shredded carrots

– I like to add some red or yellow chopped peppers, optional

Instructions:

1. Place potatoes into a large pot of water. Bring to a simmer and cook until fork-tender. Remove and let cool.
