This salad is served at family tables for any of the holidays. Every family has their own recipe, but the common ingredients are diced potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, carrots and mayonnaise. Many years ago I had a Polish co-worker who brought this in work one day for me to try. His mom used to come from Poland and stay for a few months, and I suppose cooked for him the whole time she was here! I always ate this on top of a Ritz cracker - the taste reminds me of shrimp salad!
- 4 large potatoes, boiled with their skin, then peeled and diced
- 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
- 6 eggs, hard-boiled, grated on box grater
- 1 pkg. peas and carrots, thawed
- 1/4 cup dill pickle, diced
- 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp. horseradish (optional)
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix in mayonnaise and add salt and pepper to taste.

I love Polish cuisine. There used to be a Polish restaurant in our neighborhood where all the food was truly homemade, and it was amazing.
