Instructions

Peel the potatoes and cut them into even 1-inch chunks.
In a medium saucepan, cover the potato chunks with cold water and add 2 tablespoons of salt.
Bring to a gentle boil, then lower to a simmer, cooking for about 5 minutes until fork-tender but intact.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool in a colander for 10-15 minutes.
Chop the onions, pickles, and tomatoes while the potatoes cool.
Once cooled, cut the potatoes into smaller pieces and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Add the onions, pickles, tomatoes, and mayonnaise to the bowl, stirring well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for 4-6 hours.

Notes

For a creamier texture, increase the amount of mayonnaise if desired.
This salad can be made a day in advance for enhanced flavor.
Adding chopped herbs like parsley or dill can elevate the taste.
