Classic Chilled Potato Salad

Ingredients

* 2 pounds red potatoes, quartered (russets fall apart in salads; red or yellow potatoes hold their shape better)
* 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
* 1/2 cup chopped celery
* 1/2 cup chopped scallion (green and white parts)
* 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, drained
* 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
* 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
* 3 tablespoons dijon-style mustard
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Directions

In a medium saucepan, boil potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain water, and while still warm, add vinegar, oil, celery, scallion, pickle relish, and eggs; toss gently. In separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Fold into potato mixture. Cover and chill before serving.
