Not sure why, there are only 2 of us and Michael doesn't eat it. Tradition, I guess.... I always use Duke's mayo. Sorry Charlie, hope you're not turning over somewhere (said fondly, we miss you)
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
mayonnaise -- to taste (Hellman's)
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.
MONJ NOTE: I cut the sugar back to 1/4 cup. I also added chopped parsley and sliced celery, s&p when mixing in the mayo. I used 1/2 cup mayo. I thought about adding sliced onion, but it's onion-y enough for my taste. I cooked 2 lbs russets in their skins in the pressure cooker-10 mins on high and 10 minute natural release. They were perfectly cooked. Then cooled/peeled.
