- Boil the eggs until hard . Cool the eggs.
- Drain the water from the pot and add cold water to the pot, covering the potatoes. Change water every few minutes until the potatoes are cool enough to handle with your bare hands. Refrigerate for a few minutes to cool further.
- Remove from refrigerator and peel potatoes. Cut into small (approximately 1/2-inch cubes). Return to refrigerator while you prepare the other ingredients.

SPANISH POTATO SALAD RECIPE
Generally, when they talk about salad, you imagine a bowl full of lettuce and if you are not a vegetable lover, you may not be thrilled when you have to eat salad. Thankfully, the Spanish potato salad, also known as ensaladilla rusa, escapes this norm. It is a delicious dish, you can get it done in less than an hour, and everyone loves it.

Steps:
- Wash and peel the potatoes and carrots. Cut them into cubes, the size you want, though the final size of the carrots should be smaller.
- Bring them to a boil in a large pot covered with water. Cook them for 25 minutes and when that time passes add the eggs. Continue cooking everything for 10 more minutes so the eggs get cooked.
- Drain them and let them cool, if you put them in a bowl and cover them with a bag you can let them cool in the fridge and you'll save some time.
- Meanwhile cut the olives, this step is optional but I recommend that you do it especially if your olives have a pit.
- Grab the bowl with the boiled vegetables, cut the boiled eggs, and put them there too. Now mix the peas, tuna, parsley, and mayonnaise in that same bowl. The final amount of mayonnaise is up to you, but if you use the listed amount, it'll be perfect.

SPANISH-STYLE POTATO SALAD
My copycat version of a potato salad from a local source-from the chef himself! Reminder: because this is a copycat recipe, all amounts of ingredients were estimated. For example, I am judicious with the amount of mayonnaise and you can most certainly add more. Use quality ingredients. Easy!
