Potato Salad

 

Ingredients

6 medium potatoes (Russet recommended) - pealed and cubed (½ inch cubes)

1 tablespoon of vinegar - apple vinegar or pickle juice


Dressing

¼ cup mayonnaise

½ cup sour cream

4 hard boiled eggs - coarsely chopped

1 small onion (red or white) - finely chopped

2 celery stalks - finely chopped

½ cup sweet mustard pickle relish

Salt and pepper to taste


Apple mint for garnish


Also needed - 

Ice water 


Method

Place diced potato in cold water in the pot. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until fork tender. Immediately drain and put in ice water. Drain and refrigerate for an hour or more.


Sprinkle a tablespoon of vinegar over the drained potatoes once they are cold and gently mix to cover the potatoes.


Put chopped onion in cold water for 10 minutes then drain - this reduces the bite of the onion and prevents it from overpowering the other flavours.


Combine all dressing ingredients and fold into potatoes. Refrigerate two hours before serving.
