A classic potato salad recipe. Most potato salads look and taste better when made with low-starch red boiling potatoes. You can use any size of this variety, but the small new potatoes cook 10 to 15 minutes faster than the larger ones. Choose potatoes that are all roughly the same size, if possible, so they cook in the same time.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red boiling potatoes , scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 3 hard-cooked eggs
- 1 small celery stalk
- 0.25 cups chopped sweet pickle , not relish
- 3 scallions
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
Instructions

1
Place potatoes in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer, stirring to ensure even cooking, until a thin-bladed paring knife or a metal skewer inserted into a potato can be removed with no resistance, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again. Cool slightly.
