- 4 1/2-5 lbs russet potatoes scrubbed & peeled
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/2 tsp celery salt
- pepper to taste
Add the potatoes to a large pot, and add water to cover them.
Heat on high heat, and boil the potatoes until fork tender. This can take anywhere from 10-20 minutes, depending on the size of the potato.
Transfer the cooked, but not mushy potatoes, to a colander. Run them under cold water to stop the cooking process and to cool them.
Once cool, slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch coins. Add them to a large mixing bowl.
In a separate mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients. Whisk the dressing together until smooth.
Transfer the dressing to the bowl with the potatoes, and toss to evenly combine/coat.
Serve the potato salad as is, or cover & refrigerate to chill before serving.
Season with salt & pepper, to taste.
