Ingredients

Salad

Sauce

Directions

  1. Cut potatoes into ¼-inch pieces.
  2. Boil in heavily salted water until tender (about 5 minutes once the water comes to a boil).
  3. Drain potatoes and rinse lightly with cold water so you don’t end up with mashed potatoes. While still in the colander, splash with the vinegar.
  4. Add potatoes to a large bowl.
  5. Chop the onion and celery into ⅛-inch to ¼-inch pieces and add to the potatoes.
  6. Chop the eggs, season with a little salt and pepper, then add to the potatoes.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if you like.
  8. Stir the sauce into the potatoes and refrigerate 3 hours to overnight.
  9. If the potato salad seems dry, make a smaller amount of the same sauce in a separate bowl, then stir it in.
