- 4tablespoon (or 3 serving spoons) de Raisins

- 1small carton de Heavy cream

Instructions
Roughly chop the potatoes and carrots and cook them in enough water to cover them until they are very tender.
Dica: Chopping the vegetables roughly helps them cook faster.
While the vegetables cook, debone and skin the smoked chicken, separating the meat into manageable pieces.
Dica: The skin comes off easily, which simplifies preparation.
Shred all the smoked chicken meat, leaving some pieces slightly larger to better taste the flavor in the salad.
Dica: This chicken should not be blended; it needs to be shredded by hand.
While the vegetables are still hot, mash the potato and carrot. It is crucial to mash them while hot to prevent lumps from forming.
Dica: If they cool down, the mash can become lumpy.
Peel the green apple and chop it into very small, uniform pieces to ensure crunchiness; avoid grating it.
Dica: If not using immediately, brush the chopped apple with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped apple, and mashed potato and carrot.
Add the chopped olives and raisins (about 4 tablespoons) to the mixture.
Incorporate 3 very generous serving spoons of mayonnaise and one small carton of heavy cream into the bowl.
Dica: Do not add too much salt initially, as the olives and smoked chicken are already salty.
Mix all ingredients until you achieve a uniform consistency. Taste and add a pinch of salt, if necessary, adjusting the seasoning to your liking.
Dica: Salt should be added cautiously due to the strong flavor of the smoked chicken.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and refrigerate until well chilled before consuming.
Dica: Refrigeration is important to help the salad firm up and intensify the flavor.
Just before serving, top the cold salad with shoestring potatoes to maintain their crunch.
Dica: Only add the shoestring potatoes right before serving so they don't get soggy.
