Steps

Step 2
Add salt and vinegar. Bring it to a boil over medium high heat, and then reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook until the potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
15 minStep 3
Drain the potatoes and let it cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, cut the sausage and pickles into small cubes, and chop the green onions.
Step 4
Cut the hard-boiled eggs into small cubes as well. If using fresh dill, chop them as well.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine potatoes, carrots, sausage, pickles, peas and green onions. Add mayo and dill and mix until well combined.
Step 6
Salt and pepper to taste. Cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Substitutions
potato (sweet potato or another starchy side) → sweet potato or another starchy side
Cook time changes. Sweet potato browns faster.
egg (silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)) → silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)
Carbonara without egg is not carbonara. Fried rice can skip the egg. We will not pretend otherwise.
onion → shallot
Shallots are sweeter. Use the same volume, or a little extra onion if that is what you have.
