Place potatoes and carrots in a pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover them, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking, place the eggs in a separate pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
After 20 minutes, check the potatoes and carrots with a fork to ensure they are tender; then remove them from the water and allow them to cool.
Drain the eggs and place them in a bowl of cold water to cool, then peel and chop the eggs into small pieces.
Dice the cooled potatoes and carrots into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the diced eggs, and cut the ham into small cubes, adding it to the bowl as well.
Cook the frozen peas according to package instructions and allow them to cool before adding to the salad.
Dice the pickles into small pieces and add them to the mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to the bowl and gently mix all the ingredients until well combined.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve cold and enjoy!
