Boil potatoes in their skins in salted water till fork tender. You can pierce the potatoes before cooking....

Assemble Salad:
Dice chicken, potatoes, carrots, than dice the pickles and squeeze them a bit to remove some of their juice(this helps so that your salad doesn't become too watery). Place can peas in a colander under running water to rinse them . Drain completely and add to the rest of the diced ingredients. Add sal and pepper (optional) and 1 cup mayo. Mix till combined and taste for seasoning.
Add more mayo to the mixture until it is tuna salad-like(for a lack of a better term) . You might need the full 2 cups. This depends on preference...use less if you don't want it too creamy or use more if you like it creamier. Place in a nice serving dish and spread a thin layer of mayo on top...Decorate with reserved vegetables(carrots, , pickles, parsley, olives, chopped eggs...).

Bon appetite
