My Dad's Deli-Style Potato Salad
from ButterYum
makes 5 pounds
5 pounds white or red new potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 cups water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
sauce:
2 cups mayonnaise (we love Duke's)
1/4 cup white distilled vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup finely minced onion
option garnish: chopped parsley, chives, scallions, etc
Place the cubed potatoes in a 6-quart stockpot, add water and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt; bring to a boil and cook until fork tender. Drain and cool potatoes completely. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, onion, salt, and pepper. Pour over cooled potatoes; gently mix and garnish if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
