How to make it

  • Put potatoes in large pot with enough water to cover potatoes by one inch.
  • Season potatoes with salt and bring the water to a boil.
  • Cook just until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the uncovered pot off the heat. Let them sit until almost room temperature. (Cool them in the warm pot to get rid of any excess water in the potatoes.)
  • Meanwhile, cut the white parts off the ends of the celery stalks.
  • Cut the stalks in half lenghtwise, then across into 1/4 inch slices. Stir the celery, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the remaining ingredients together in a serving bowl large enough to hold all the potatoes.
  • When they're cool, cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, add them to the bowl as you go. Stir gently until all the potatoes are coated with dressing. If you refrigerate the potatoes will lose their rich smooth texture. Keep covered when serving.

    This is a fabulous and very easy potato salad. I didn't have the specialty mayo, so I just added to taste, wasabi and horseradish that I already had in the fridge.

    I do have a suggestion in the name of food safety.
    As a do ahead, I made this delicious dressing and kept in the fridge until about an hour before we planned to eat, then added the dressing to the room temperature potatoes. I only mention this as a concern in the heat of a really hot summer day. Again, very tasty recipe, and I will use it many times. Thank you.

    Without a doubt - the best potato salad I've ever had! Take note of the "serve at room temp" tip.
