Sarahs Gourmet Style Potato Salad Food

SARAH'S GOURMET STYLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and 1 tablespoon of salt in a large pot of water.
• Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a knife.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel.
• Allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, milk, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, parsley, dill and 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper.
• (I find the salt from the mayo and mustards is enough for us but add salt to taste if you like.)
• Set aside.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them (Using an egg-slicer can be very helpful here).
• Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl. Add the celery and red onion. Pour enough dressing over to moisten.
• (As the salad sits, you may need to add more dressing.)
• Toss well, Taste and adjust any seasoning you feel is necessary, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.
• Serve cold or at room temperature.
