  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes (red or yellow)
  • ½ cup white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut larger potatoes in half, leaving smaller ones whole.
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 12–15 minutes until fork-tender.
  4. Drain the potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl while still warm.
  5. Pour half of the vinegar over the hot potatoes, tossing gently. Let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb flavor.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, remaining vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. If desired, whisk in mayonnaise for a creamier dressing.
  7. Add chopped celery and green onions to the potatoes.
  8. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until well coated.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more vinegar or salt if needed.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to develop.
  11. Garnish with chopped parsley just before serving.

Notes

For stronger tang, increase vinegar slightly.

For a creamier salad, add extra mayonnaise.

This salad can be served warm or chilled.
