PERFECT POTATO SALAD
This is my mother Pauline's recipe. It's pretty much a classic American salad but remember, if you add onions, use sweet onions and chop with a very sharp knife, allow potatoes to cool to room temp before dressing them, and always taste for salt.

Steps:
- Place whole potatoes in a pot with 1/4 cup kosher salt. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until tender, about 40 minutes (depending on size). Transfer cooked potatoes to a plate. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
- When potatoes are completely cooled, peel off the skin. Cut into larger than bite-size pieces as the pieces will break down slightly when you toss with the dressing. Transfer potato pieces to a mixing bowl. Add celery, onions, parsley, chopped hard-boiled eggs. Combine ingredients, breaking up larger pieces of potato.
- Place mayonnaise in mixing bowl. Add cider vinegar, mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour mayonnaise mixture onto potatoes; stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, 2 to 3 hours. Taste for seasonings and texture. Salad may need a bit more salt and another spoonful of mayonnaise.

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a big pot of water. Turn up the heat to high! Cook them to perfection in boiling water. Don't over cook (they will be too mushy). Don't under cook. I can't give you an exact time but start checking after 20 minutes. You just need to use your fork and your cooking instincts. Peeling: You can peel them before boiling but it's easier to pull off the skins after cooking. Tip : Let them cool, first! After cooking, drain well and let them cool down. After a spell, chill in the fridge until they are cold. During the cooling off period grate ½ cup of carrots and ¼ cup of minced curly parsley. Take the cool potatoes and slice them thin. (About a quarter of an inch or so) Place sliced potatoes in a giant mixing bowl and add the mayo, white vinegar, sugar, salt, carrots and parley too. Gently mix it up with a big 'ole spoon. Adjust to taste. Chill, may be eaten it within 3 days preparing.
