Description

The best NY-style potato salad ever. This recipe makes a ton so feel free to scale it down.

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds Red New Potatoes, Cut Into 1 1/2-inch Size Cubes
  • 8 cups Water
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 cups (Real) Mayonnaise
  • ¼ cups White Distilled Vinegar
  • 1 cup Finely Minced Onion
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
  • Optional: Chopped Parsley, Chives, Or Scallions

Preparation

Place the potatoes in a 6-quart stockpot, add the water and the first amount of kosher salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender. Depending on the size of the cubes, this will probably take at least 10 minutes. Drain off the water and cool potatoes completely.

In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, onion, the second amount of salt and pepper. Pour dressing over the cooled potatoes in a large bowl; gently mix together and add optional garnish if desired.

Chill thoroughly before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.

Do you have a typo in the amount of pepper? Guessing you meant 1/2 tsp, not 1/2 cup. The recipe looks great, otherwise.

Not standard NY deli style in my NY area, except in the supermarket deli. Missing 2 things a small amount of sugar, which does not make it sweet , but amplifies the tang of the vinegar. The other thing here in a good German or Jewish deli here the potatoes are sliced thin, like a slightly thicker potato chip rather than cubed.
