Make a punchy, tangy potato salad that tastes like your favorite chips. This no mayo potato salad uses vinegar infusion while potatoes are hot for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
  • 1 cup white distilled vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons extra white distilled vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. While the potatoes cook, combine the 1 cup of white distilled vinegar, 1/2 cup water, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of kosher salt in a small saucepan. Bring this mixture to a simmer until the salt dissolves. Remove from heat.
  3. Drain the cooked potatoes immediately. Return the hot potatoes to the empty pot. Pour the hot vinegar solution over the hot potatoes. Gently toss to coat. Let the potatoes sit and absorb the liquid for 15 minutes.
  4. Drain off any excess liquid remaining in the pot.
  5. Add the chopped red onion and fresh parsley to the potatoes.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of extra vinegar, and black pepper.
  7. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss until everything is coated.
  8. Serve warm or chill completely before serving as a unique cookout side dish.

Notes

  • For a stronger vinegar punch, increase the extra vinegar in the dressing by one teaspoon.
  • If you prefer a slightly roasted flavor, try salt and vinegar roasted potatoes by tossing the potatoes in oil and roasting them before the vinegar infusion step.
