Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs potatoes
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 0.25 cup red onion finely chopped

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gently fold all ingredients until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

For best results, use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red new potatoes. You can also add hard-boiled eggs or a pinch of paprika for extra flavor and color.
