Creamy Potato Salad Recipe (No Eggs!)
Description
The recipe begins by boiling whole Idaho potatoes until they're tender and easily pierced, then cooling slightly before peeling. The peeled potatoes are cut into large cubes and combined warm with a marinade of cold water, white vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, dried parsley flakes, finely diced onion, and diced celery. This vinegar mixture penetrates the potatoes during refrigeration for 12 to 24 hours, infusing them with acidity and flavor.
Just before serving, mayonnaise is stirred in to add a creamy texture that balances the tart marinade. The salad is flexible and can incorporate additions such as crumbled bacon, fresh dill, boiled eggs, or diced red bell pepper to enhance flavor and interest. It serves well as a side dish for picnics or casual meals.
