Steps

1 Done 35 minutes	Prepare ingredients Wash potatoes, carrots and eggs under the running water. Place them in a pot and let them cook until they are soft. It usually takes around 25-30 minutes. After, let them cool off completely. You can boil eggs separately for 12 minutes to get the hard-boiled eggs. Or you can boil the eggs with potatoes and carrots in the pot - just add them when the water is boiling and cook for 10-12 minutes (the vegetables and eggs are already boiled and cold in my photo)
2 Done 25 minutes	Chop all ingredients Peel potatoes, carrots and eggs and chop them into small pieces. Chop sausage and pickles, too.
3 Done 5 min	Add mayonnaise Add 6 ounces of mayonnaise to a salad bowl. Mix everything well.
