Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

Place the unpeeled potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 18-22 minutes.

02

Step
5 mins

Drain the potatoes thoroughly and allow them to cool slightly until you can handle them comfortably. Peel the potatoes while still warm and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the sliced potatoes in a large mixing bowl along with the finely diced onion.

03

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

04

Step
1 mins

In a separate small saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a rolling boil. Immediately pour the boiling broth over the potatoes and onions. Gently stir to combine.

05

Step
10 mins

Add the white wine vinegar to the potato mixture and stir gently. Allow the salad to rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the potatoes to absorb the flavors. (resting 10 minutes)

06

Step
1 mins

Stir in the vegetable oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar as needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.

For the best flavor, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
Do not overcook the potatoes, as they will become mushy. They should be tender but still firm.
Adjust the amount of vinegar to your liking. Some people prefer a more tart potato salad.
Allowing the potato salad to rest for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, will allow the flavors to meld together even more.
While traditionally served warm or at room temperature, this potato salad is also delicious chilled.
