Long Island Deli Potato Salad

Serving Size : 4

2 pounds potatoes -- boiled in their skin
and cooled
***BRINE***
1 cup white vinegar
1 1/3 cups water
3/4 cup sugar
1 onion -- chopped
salt & pepper to taste
Hellman's Mayo -- to taste

combine brine ingredients and boil for 5 min. slice potatoes thin and pour hot brine over them. Let them marinate for 24 hours. Drain in collander but do not drain dry. Add Helman's mayo, enough to make it as creamy as you like. The trick here is to use only Helman's, also sold under the "best foods" label in other parts of the country.

 
Phillip's Deli - I've begged for the recipe, played on our mutual

birthplace - Mississippi, you name it. He WON'T share the recipe. He uses red potatoes and green onions, other than that, I can't tell you much about what makes it unique but it's not too mayonnaisey, no mustard, no obvious herbs
