For an elevated flavor profile, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing. Feel free to customize the ingredients to your liking. Some variations include adding diced apples, celery, or even small cubes of cooked chicken or ham. If you don't have bologna, you can substitute it with another type of cooked sausage or ham. Ensure the potatoes and carrots are cooked until just tender to prevent a mushy salad. Make ahead: this salad tastes even better the next day!

Follow The Directions
01
Step
15 mins
Prepare the Vegetables: Place the sliced potatoes and carrots in a large pot. Cover with generously salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently until the vegetables are tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and carrots thoroughly. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool them down. Once cooled, dice the potatoes and carrots into small, even cubes.
02
Step
5 mins
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced potatoes, carrots, drained sweet peas, chopped dill pickles, minced onion, diced bologna, and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
03
Step
3 mins
Dress the Salad: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, and a generous grinding of black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your liking.
04
Step
5 mins
Incorporate Dressing: Gently fold the dressing into the potato and vegetable mixture, ensuring that everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the salad mushy.
05
Step
30 mins
Chill: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably a few hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly. This step is crucial for the best taste and texture.
06
Step
2 mins
Serve: Serve the Olivie chilled, garnished with a sprig of fresh dill or a sprinkle of paprika, if desired. It pairs perfectly with crusty bread or as a side dish to any meal.
