Step 1
Peel and dice the 4 potatoes and 2 carrots into 1/2-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.
Step 2
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer until the vegetables are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool for 5 minutes.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the cooked vegetables with 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir gently to coat.
Step 4
Chop the 1/4 cup fresh parsley and fold half into the salad. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle the remaining parsley on top. Serve warm or chilled.
