This potato salad with pickled onions is a simple and quick recipe, perfect for a summer meal or as a side dish for a roast. The combination of creamy potatoes, pickled onions, and pickles makes each serving a true feast of flavors. Here’s how you can prepare this special salad!

Ingredients:
- 600 g potatoes
- 3-4 pickled cucumbers
- 100 g pickled carrots
- 7-8 slices of pickled onion
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Preparing the Potatoes
Start by peeling the potatoes. An efficient method is to use a sharp peeler, which will make the job quicker and easier. After peeling, wash them well under cold running water to remove any impurities. Cut the potatoes into equal-sized cubes, about 2 cm, to ensure even cooking.

Step 2: Boiling the Potatoes
Place the potato cubes in a pot, cover them with cold water, and add a little salt. Boil them over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until they become soft but not mushy. Check with a fork – if it goes in easily, they are done. After boiling, drain them and let them cool slightly.

Step 3: Preparing the Dressing
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the sour cream with the mayonnaise. Add salt and pepper to taste. This combination will give the salad a creamy texture and delicious flavor. If you want a fresher note, you can also add a few drops of lemon juice.

Step 4: Assembling the Salad
Once the potatoes have cooled, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Also add the diced cucumbers and pickled carrots. Add the slices of pickled onion, which will provide a pleasant contrast of acidity and texture. Gently mix the ingredients with a spatula, being careful not to crush the potatoes.

Step 5: Serving
After mixing the salad, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Let the salad chill for 15 minutes before serving – this time will allow the flavors to meld perfectly. You can serve the potato salad with pickled onions alongside some toasted bread or as a side dish for chicken or fish.

Suggestions and Variations:
- You can also add olives or corn for extra flavor.
- Substitute the pickled cucumbers with green olives for a Mediterranean version.
- If you like a more intense flavor, you can add some chopped fresh dill.

This potato salad with pickled onions is not only easy to prepare but also extremely versatile. You can experiment with your favorite ingredients and adapt it to your taste. Enjoy every serving and savor a classic dish full of flavors!
