The name for potato salad in Spain is ensaladilla rusa, or Russian Salad. Cover with a lid to reduce cooking time. While potatoes are boiling, boil peas and pepper, which has been cut in half and de-seeded, or you can char if you wish (the idea is to remove the skin). This recipe, I find, is commonly served in Spanish restaurants. On the Internet there are many variations on this recipe, but not the 'Spanish' version.
