- 2 tbsp cider vinegar
- 3 tsp stone ground mustard
- 3 tbsp parsley, chopped

Instructions:
-
Microwave or Steam Potatoes: Begin by microwaving or steaming the potatoes until they are fork-tender. This usually takes around 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes and the method used. Once cooked, rinse them lightly with cold water to stop the cooking process.
-
Prepare Potatoes: Place the cooked potatoes in a serving bowl. Make sure they are drained and cooled slightly before proceeding to the next step.
-
Prepare Warm Onion Dressing: In a skillet or pan, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and minced garlic to the pan, stirring occasionally. Cook until the onion becomes soft and translucent, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
-
Add Flavorful Ingredients: Once the onion is soft, add the cider vinegar, stone ground mustard, chopped parsley, and salt to the pan. Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to heat through.
-
Combine Dressing with Potatoes: Pour the warm onion dressing mixture over the cooked potatoes in the serving bowl. Gently toss the potatoes with the dressing, ensuring that they are evenly coated.
-
Let Stand and Serve: Allow the potato salad to stand for at least 15 minutes before serving. This time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, enhancing the taste of the dish. Before serving, give the salad another gentle toss to redistribute the dressing.
-
Enjoy: Serve this flavorful Red Potato Salad with Warm Onion Dressing as a side dish alongside your favorite main courses or enjoy it on its own for a light and satisfying meal option. The combination of tender potatoes with the tangy and aromatic warm onion dressing is sure to be a hit with family and friends alike!
