Notes about this recipe

    I thought this was...fine? But nothing really memorable or special. I did use half the amount of mayo as suggested and thought it was plenty (I don't like potato salads that are too "soupy" with mayo.

    This is much easier than the Ina recipe I usually make and we liked it just as much- maybe even more? It reminds me of the simple potato salads I ate growing up. I especially appreciated the kick of mustard and vinegar. This may become my go- to going forward.

    Doubled this for a Super Bowl party and it was a hit. Marinating the potatoes in the mustard-vinegar-onion-celery mixture results in flavorful potatoes without the metallic taste that sometimes comes from vinegar alone. I added diced dill pickles and sliced black olives as my grandmother did.

    Excellent potato salad! I've made potato salads where you add vinegar to the hot potatoes or even to the cooking water but as aeverythingcooks said, getting the Dijon mustard and onions in there, too, really makes for a flavorful result. I added chopped red bell pepper and sugar snap peas. Will definitely make this one again.

    This is a really good potato salad. I had 2 larger Yukon golds to use up (= to the mass of a 1/2 recipe) and chopped them into small chunks after the boil. This method (where you mix the big impact flavour ingredients into the warm potatoes and then add the mayo once that mix has cooled right down) gives delicious results! Of course, I had to add chopped hard boiled eggs at the end.....because that's a non-negotiable for this style of potato salad in this house :)
