Recipe Tips
This is a very flexible recipe and this is how I enjoy it the best. Some people may find this type of potato salad a little bland, here the sour pickles, and the meat really adds the flavor impact. Keep in mind that during the Soviet era, salads like this were made with what was on hand and available. Feeling adventurous, other pickled vegetables would go well in here. Don’t forget to garnish with a little dill weed.
