Ingredients
•
2 pounds red boiling potatoes, scrubbed
•
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•
3 hard-cooked eggs
•
1 small celery stalk
•
1/4 cup chopped sweet pickle (not relish)
•
3 scallions
•
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
•
1/2 cup mayonnaise
•
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
Directions
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.
2
Cut warm potatoes into 3/4-inch dice. Layer them in a bowl, seasoning with vinegar, salt, and pepper as you go.
3
Cut eggs, celery, and pickle in 1/4-inch dice. Thinly slice scallions. Add to potatoes, along with parsley. Stir in mayonnaise and mustard until everything is combined. Chill, covered, before serving.
