This is interesting, we make this salad in Serbia too, and also call it Russian, but it is slightly different. I think I like both versions.

Give us your version and let's compare!!!

We never add beetroots, but we add some kind of smoked meat and/or diced boiled chicken breasts. Some people add sour cream, but I don't like that. I tried a version with sweet corn instead of potatoes, also great.
