Instructions

Peel the potatoes and cut them into even 1-inch chunks.
Place the potato chunks in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, and stir in 2 tablespoons of salt.
Bring the pot to a gentle boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook for about 5 more minutes until fork-tender, ensuring the potatoes keep their shape.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool in the colander for 10-15 minutes.
Chop up the onions, pickles, and tomatoes.
Once the potatoes have cooled, chop them into smaller pieces and add them to a mixing bowl.
Add the onions, pickles, tomatoes, and mayo to the bowl and stir. Add salt and pepper, then stir again. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Cover and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.

Notes

For best flavor, make this salad a few hours ahead of serving.
Adjust the amount of mayonnaise depending on your preference for creaminess.
Feel free to add other ingredients like celery or hard-boiled eggs for extra texture.
