Ingredients
  • 5-6 medium red potatoes
  • 1/2 sweet onion, grated
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
Directions
  1. Add the potatoes to a large pot and fill with cold water and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly and peel. Add the onion to a medium-size bowl. Add the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar. Whisk to combine.
  3. Slice the warm potatoes to about ¼-inch thick. Place in a large bowl. Pour the onion-vinegar mixture over the warm potatoes.
  4. Let the potato salad sit for approximately 10 minutes so that the potatoes can absorb some of the liquid. There will be a little liquid left. This is what makes this salad so nice and creamy. Add the mayonnaise and stir gently so not to break up the potatoes. Chill for at least 2 hours.
