  • Cook the potatoes in a pot with enough salted hot water; once it reaches a boil, cook over medium heat for 25 minutes or until the potatoes are soft enough. Remove from heat, drain, and place in a bowl. While still hot, mash with a potato masher until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat the butter together with the heavy cream over medium-low heat, stirring constantly; otherwise, you risk the cream burning in the pot. Once hot, pour the mixture over the mashed potatoes, season with salt, and fold in gently. You will notice how the mashed potatoes gradually become smooth; this will be the ideal consistency to use.
  • For the salad: Mix the precooked carrot with the precooked peas, mayonnaise, lemon juice, onion, parsley, enough salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix evenly and set aside.
  • Prepare your cake: In a silicone mold or a round cake pan previously greased with cooking spray, place the salad until it fills ¾ of the mold's capacity, then fill with the mashed potatoes and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • While the Russian salad cake cools, cut the leaves of Eva® Italian Lettuce into strips and set aside.
  • Unmold the Russian salad cake onto a plate or base once the refrigeration time has passed, place the strips of Eva® Italian Lettuce on top of the cake, and then decorate with cherry tomatoes and chives. Serve accompanied by baked tostadas.
