Follow The Directions

01

Step
30 mins

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.

02

Step
5 mins

Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly until you can handle them. Peel and dice the potatoes while they are still warm. This step is crucial for achieving a fluffy texture. (5 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Cover the diced potatoes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until completely chilled.

04

Step
30 mins

In a large bowl, gently combine the chilled potatoes, chopped hard-boiled eggs, crabmeat, black olives, and grated carrot.

05

Step

Sprinkle the sugar over the salad. Add the mayonnaise, starting with 1/2 cup, and gently stir until the salad is moistened to your liking. Be careful not to overmix.

06

Step

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed.

07

Step

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce to the mayonnaise.
Feel free to substitute the crabmeat with an equal amount of cooked shrimp, tuna, or imitation crabmeat, if desired.
If you prefer a tangier salad, you can add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.
