Ingredients to make this potato salad:
8 medium sized potatoes
2 carrots
3 medium beets (boiled) canned beets can be used if you prefer.
1 can of corn
1 can petit pois (green peas)
1 large onion
1 bell pepper
4  boiled eggs
Mayonnaise
Salt and pepper to taste
2-3 teaspoons cider vinegar


Preparation: 
1. First boil the potatoes with the carrots until they are tender. In another separate pot boil the eggs.

2. While potatoes and carrots are cooking, chop the peppers, onions and diced the beets.

3. After the potatoes, carrots and eggs are ready and cooled, proceed to chop these into squares approx. 1/2 inches and mixed together in a bowl, add onions, peppers, beets, corn, peas, vinegar, mayonnaise and a touch of salt and pepper. Mix well and serve.

4. If you prepare this recipe in advance, extra precaution is necessary as with all the dishes that contain eggs and mayonnaise, so I recommend you to keep the salad in the refrigerator until serving time and serve cold. Enjoy!
