Barb's Potato Salad
6 potatoes
1/3 cup vinaigrette
red or green onion, diced
1 dill pickle, diced
1/2 sweet pickle, diced
1/2 cup black olives, coarsely chopped
1 or 2 stalks celery diced
1-2 oz. jar diced pimiento, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup minced parsley
6 eggs, hard boiled and cubed
Mayonnaise
about 1 teaspoon mustard
salt and pepper
Boil potatoes until tender. Peel while still hot (hold them with a folded dish towel) and dice. Pour over and toss with vinaigrette while still warm. Add remaining ingredients except eggs, mayonnaise and mustard. Toss to combine. Blend in mayonnaise and mustard and gently fold in eggs so they don't break up too much.
Note: This could easily turn into a rant but here goes. In my opinion potato salad should be dressed warm so that it absorbs the flavors into the potatoes. Otherwise it's cold potatoes with mayonnaise all over them.
