How to make Baby Potato Salad
Step 1 – Wash the baby potatoes, then cut them in half or quarters on a cutting board.
Step 2 – Chop the fresh chives.
Step 3 – Place the potatoes and eggs in a large pot of cold, salted water and bring to a boil on high heat. Boil for 10, then use a slotted spoon to remove just the eggs. Let the potatoes continue to cook for 5-10 minutes.
Step 4 – Run the boiled eggs under cold water. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel and chop.
Step 5 – When the potatoes are done, drain using a colander and run the warm potatoes under cold water and drain again. Set aside to continue cooling for about 5 minutes.
Step 6 – At the same time, in a large serving bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and white vinegar with a whisk.
Step 7 – In a large bowl, add the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, and half of the chopped chives. Add the seasoned salt and pepper to taste, and gently fold together with a silicone baking spatula.
Garnish with the remaining chopped chives and serve.
