Ingredients
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt more for boiling water
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 1/2 pounds potato cut into bite-sized pieces, red

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
- Place the red potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by an inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, seasoning the water with salt until it tastes like seawater.
- Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes, then drain and let them release steam for a few minutes.
- Toss the warm potatoes with the prepared dressing until well coated.
- Fold in the chopped celery, scallions, and chives.
