Instructions:
-
Boil the Potatoes: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a vigorous boil.
-
Cook Potatoes: Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook them until they are tender but still firm, which typically takes about 15 minutes.
-
Drain and Cool: Drain the cooked potatoes and allow them to cool down to room temperature.
-
Prepare Potatoes: Once the potatoes have cooled, slice them into desired thickness and layer them in a large bowl or dish, creating a base for your salad.
-
Prepare Marinade: In a saucepan, combine water, white wine vinegar, and white sugar. Bring this mixture to a boil and allow it to cook for about one minute, ensuring the sugar is fully dissolved.
-
Marinate Potatoes: Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully pour the marinade over the sliced potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Chill and Marinate: Cover the bowl or dish containing the potatoes and marinade, then refrigerate it for at least 12 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is crucial for achieving the optimal taste of the salad.
-
Final Touches: After the marinating period, drain any excess marinade from the potatoes. Then, add finely chopped green onions, diced hard-boiled eggs, salt, pepper, a sprinkle of celery seed (to taste), and mayonnaise.
-
Mix and Serve: Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Serve the potato salad chilled, allowing your guests to enjoy the delightful blend of flavors.
