Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pound(s) baby red potatoes halved
  • cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 3 celery stalks diced
  • ½ cup cilantro roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes into a pot with enough heavily salted water to cover them. Place a lid on the pot and bring it to a boil. Remove the lid and boil for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender. 
    2 ½ pound(s) baby red potatoes
  • Drain potatoes and place them in a single layer on a lightly greased cookie sheet to dry and cool slightly.
  • While the potatoes cool, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper. Then, set aside.
    ⅓ cup mayonnaise, 1 clove garlic, 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar, ½ tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
  • Soak the sliced red onion in ice water for at least 5 minutes to take out some of the “bite.” Drain away the water.
    ½ red onion
  • In a large bowl, gently mix the potatoes, mayonnaise dressing, red onion, bell pepper, celery and cilantro, toss lightly and chill for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Taste, and add additional salt and pepper if desired. If it needs more tang, add a splash of vinegar.
    1 red bell pepper, 3 celery stalks, ½ cup cilantro
  • See post for storage options.
