4. Cut potatoes, carrots, eggs, onion, pickles and chives in small (1/2") pieces. This takes a little time and effort but wait for the results!

5. Add mayo, salt/pepper to taste and mix well. Careful not to mash but rather mix/fold the ingredients.

It's ready to taste! This salad is a great side dish and tastes even better after being in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or even overnight. It will last up to 2 days.

Step further: Add sliced cooked ham, chicken or turkey for a complete meal. Serve with greens.
