American potato salad
Description
A simple dish to prepare. This salad is truly wonderful (at least compared to all sorts of Big Macs, greasy fried potatoes, and snacks). Just fresh vegetables and boiled potatoes—what could be healthier and more nutritious? However, like our (Soviet-Russian) Olivier salad, this one comes in many variations. In some states, it's common to add pickled cucumbers to this salad. I'm showing the most basic recipe for American potato salad, but naturally, you can freely add other ingredients. Good luck! Serve chilled.

You can peel the potatoes if you prefer. I slice them with the skin on, into quarters. By this point, the potatoes should have cooled completely.
