Potato Salad

(from athrahans’s recipe box)

Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes peeled, and thickly sliced
  • Salt
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon style mustard
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Black pepper
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 ribs celery thinly sliced
  • 1 med onion finely chopped
  • 4 hard boiled eggs sliced

Directions

  1. Put potatoes in med pot and cover with cold water. Add generous pinch salt, then bring to boil over med-high heat. Reduce heat to med-low and gently boil until potatoes are just soft when pierced with the tip of knife, 10-15 min. Drain.

  2. Meanwhile, whisk vinegar and mustard together in small bowl. Continue whisking as you drizzle in the oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set vinaigrette aside.

  3. Arrange one-quarter of warm potatoes in bottom of serving bowl; drizzle with 2 TBS vinaigrette, then spread with 1/4 cup mayo. Layer about one-third of the celery, onions, and eggs and season to taste with salt and pepper. Continue layering, ending with potatoes drizzled with remaining vinaigrette, then covered with 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Garish with remaining egg and snipped chives, if you like.
