    • Chop the potatoes, eggs, and pickles into tiny bits.
    • Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss with mayonnaise.
    • Serve warm, room temperature, or cold.
    • Refrigerate leftovers.

    IDEA: If you are going to take the time to boil the potato, then double it and also consider the Hungarian Rakott Krumpli recipe.
