Is this the one? REC: Long Island Deli Potato Salad...
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.

hi Elaine, sorry, I didn't check in here. thanks Charlie, that's the one. some of
my notes....
you can lessen the sugar a bit. when you drain the potatoes from the brine, save some of the brine in case you need more moisture. the last time I made this, I sliced the potatoes before cooking. it just made it easier.
the owner of the deli was German and this is kinda like a hot german potato salad, cooled and mayo added. next time I'm going to add some bacon to it.
nice to see you smileys/smile.gif
