Poland's answer to potato salad.
2 carrots
2 stalks of celery
1 parsnip
4-5 potatoes
1 bunch scallions, chopped
2 c. sour cream
1 c. mayonnaise
1 tbsp. sugar
Salt to taste
3-4 hard cooked eggs
1 c. diced dill pickles
3-4 peeled, diced apples
1 c. cooked or canned, drained navy beans
1 c. canned peas
1 tbsp. brown mustard
1 tbsp. vinegar

The next time you plan to make potato salad for home entertaining, a pot luck or whatever, DON'T! Instead, try the interesting change of pace afforded by Polish-style potato salad - something like American potato salad, only better.

In a pot of salted water, cook carrots, celery and parsnip until tender. Separately cook 4-5 potatoes. Drain and set vegetables aside. When cooled, dice finely. (According to Polish standards, the finer the dicing - the more elegant the salad!)

To the diced vegetables add diced hard-cooked eggs, diced dill pickles, diced (peeled) apples, drained cooked (or canned) navy beans, drained canned peas and chopped green onions (scallions).

Lace with sauce made of 2 cups sour cream, 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon brown mustard and sugar, vinegar and salt to taste. Chill before serving.
