Salada Olivier (salada russa de batata)

Olivier is the Russian potato salad that anchors every New Year's table: a creamy, tangy mosaic of pea-sized potatoes, carrots, eggs, ham, dill pickles, and sweet green peas folded into mustard-spiked mayonnaise. Boiling the potatoes and carrots whole in their skins keeps them firm and unwaterlogged, so every cube stays distinct instead of collapsing into mash. A short chill lets the pickle brine and dill pull the whole bowl together.
