Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 large Hard-boiled eggs

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Peel and dice the carrots into similarly sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and carrots, and cook for about 10 minutes or until fork-tender but not mushy. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas to the pot. Drain and rinse the vegetables under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 3

While the vegetables are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, heavy cream, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Peel and dice the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, carrots, peas, and diced hard-boiled eggs. Add the dressing and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and give it another gentle stir.

Step 7

Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve the salad chilled as a side dish with grilled meats, poultry, or seafood. Enjoy!
