  1. Cover potatoes with cold salted water. Boil until a paring knife slides in with little resistance, (halve any large ones).
  2. Drain. When cool enough, cut into ¾-inch cubes.
  3. Toss warm potatoes with vinegar and ½ tsp salt.
  4. Let cool to room temperature.
  5. Mix mayo and mustard. Add to potatoes with celery, onion, eggs, herbs.
  6. Fold gently. Season.
  7. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Notes

  • Dress potatoes while warm - absorbs more flavor.
  • Yukon Golds hold shape better.
  • Refrigerate within 2 hours of mixing.
