Recipe by: Amy Bradt                                                                          Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients
2 pounds red potatoes (5 to 6 medium), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon mustard
1 cup celery, thinly sliced
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions
Cover potatoes with water in 4-quart saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, sugar, pepper and mustard in large bowl. Add potatoes, celery, onion, eggs and parsley and toss gently. Serve chilled.

Notes
I prefer red potatoes over russet, as they stay firm when cooked.
