Olivier is a traditional New Year's dish that is very easy to prepare.
But in order for the treat to be truly excellent and to please all the guests, it is important to select and cook the vegetables correctly.
As experienced cooks note, older potatoes with thicker skin are better suited for Olivier salad than young ones.
The tubers must be whole and undamaged.
For cooking, you also need to select vegetables of the same size.
Potatoes should be boiled in their skins. It should be noted that the fruits should be dipped into boiling water, not cold water.
Approximate cooking time: 20-30 minutes.
As for carrots, the Olivier salad will be much tastier if you choose sweet root vegetables. The vegetable should be firm, without spots.
Carrots should also be placed in already boiling water.
It should be cooked for no more than half an hour.
At the same time, housewives note that you need to try to preserve the elasticity of this vegetable. To do this, after cooking, you should put the root vegetable in cold water.
