What makes this traditional potato salad so good is that the dressing is poured onto the potatoes while they are still warm. Then the whole wonderful concoction sits for an hour to blend all the flavors perfectly. Makes six generous servings.
INGREDIENTS (for 7 servings):
- 3 pounds potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- ground black pepper to taste
PREPARATION:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add peeled and cut potatoes; cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl. Add onions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, oil, vinegar, sugar, parsley, salt and pepper. Gently stir in the potatoes and onion. Let stand for 1 hour before serving to enhance flavors.
