Ingredients
- 2 pounds white or gold potatoes
- 1/2 cup white onion finely diced (green onions or red could also be used)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons Apple Cider or White Wine Vinegar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley and/or chives optional
Instructions
- Boil potatoes whole and unpeeled for about 25 minutes, or until soft (they can easily be pierced with a fork or knife). Depending on the size of the potatoes, this could take a little more or less time. Drain and lay in a single layer on a flat surface to cool slightly.
- When potatoes are cool enough to handle but still quite warm, gently peel the skin off with a thin knife (works best) or a potato peeler.
- Slice potatoes into very thin discs and place directly into a medium sized bowl. Season with salt and pepper, stirring gently to coat the potatoes. Stir in onions and pour in vinegar and stir. Repeat with the oil. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
