NEW YORK DELI STYLE POTATO SALAD
When I moved down South, after living in New York for 35 years, I could no longer find a "deli" style potato salad I liked. I like a simple vinegar based salad with just a small amount of finely diced onion. Common in most Deli's on Long Island, NY. I have tweaked a few recipe's I found on recipezaar and below seems to be the best. I'm famous for cooking my potatos too long, so cook them till you think they're done! I like to use a new potato and tried it with those dutch baby yellow potatos last night. Yummy!

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a big pot of water. Turn up the heat to high! Cook them to perfection in boiling water. Don't over cook (they will be too mushy). Don't under cook. I can't give you an exact time but start checking after 20 minutes. You just need to use your fork and your cooking instincts. Peeling: You can peel them before boiling but it's easier to pull off the skins after cooking. Tip : Let them cool, first! After cooking, drain well and let them cool down. After a spell, chill in the fridge until they are cold. During the cooling off period grate ½ cup of carrots and ¼ cup of minced curly parsley. Take the cool potatoes and slice them thin. (About a quarter of an inch or so) Place sliced potatoes in a giant mixing bowl and add the mayo, white vinegar, sugar, salt, carrots and parley too. Gently mix it up with a big 'ole spoon. Adjust to taste. Chill, may be eaten it within 3 days preparing.
Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes: These potatoes hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Boil potatoes until tender, but not mushy: You want the potatoes to be firm enough to hold their shape, but not so hard that they're difficult to chew.
- Cool potatoes completely before making the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light hand when mixing the salad: You don't want to mash the potatoes.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasonings as needed: You may want to add more salt, pepper, or vinegar.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later: The salad is best served fresh, but it can also be chilled for up to 2 days.
