    Overall a tasty potato salad, and definitely something I would make for those who are mayo adverse. That being said it just doesn’t beat out my classic potato salad, but it was fun to try something new - I may need to try adding capers to my classic.

    Good potato salad. Perhaps not my favorite, but good enough I would consider making it again with some modifications. For my version I used about 5 ounces of capers, my large red onion weighed in at 11-12 ounces, and I more than doubled the vinegar. I used white wine vinegar. In the future I would aim for slightly more onion, about 1 part per 3 parts potato. I would also save some of the caper brine and use it in lieu of the part of the vinegar, starting off with 1/4 cup of caper brine, then adding vinegar to taste. A few more capers wouldn't hurt, but I adore capers, and always think that potatoes are a great foil for adding more flavoring than initially suspected.

    Perfection! Good cold but best fresh and warm

    Browned butter, potatoes, capers, red onion, cider vinegar - all ingredients I enjoy very very much. With the generous additions of whole-grain mustard and fresh dill, this was my kind of potato salad, and believe me, I ate my share of it.
