1

Boil 10 small red potatoes in abundant salted water for 20-30 minutes, depending on size.

Cut the potatoes into irregular, not-too-thin slices.

5

Finely chop half an onion and add it to a bowl.

Finely chop 10-12 pickles and add them to the bowl with the onion.

7

Add 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the bowl, adjusting the amount to taste.

8

Add 3-4 heaping tablespoons of mayonnaise to the bowl and mix well.

9

Add 1-2 tablespoons of pickle juice to lighten the sauce and add a vinegar touch.

10

Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.

11

Incorporate the sauce into the potatoes and mix until well coated.

12

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
