Steps:
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven combine sliced potatoes and salt. Cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are easily pierced by a paring knife and pulled out with little resistance, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain. Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small food processor or blender, combine the olive oil, 1/3 cup parsley, 1/3 cup green onions, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Process until the herbs and garlic have been chopped into little pieces. Then, while running the food processor, pour in the reserved cooking water and process just until blended. (If you don't have a food processor or blender, just finely chop the parsley and onions and whisk the dressing together until the oil is fully incorporated.)
- Drizzle the potatoes with the herbed olive oil mixture and gently mix to combine. (It will look like you've poured in too much dressing, but don't worry, the potatoes will soak it up!) Let the potatoes rest for ten minutes, gently tossing every few minutes.
- Add the celery to the bowl, along with a couple tablespoons each of additional chopped parsley and green onions. Toss again. Season generously to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. This salad is best served within a few hours, but will keep in the refrigerator for about three days.

BARB'S POTATO SALAD
This is always a hit at family and friend gatherings. My son wanted me to make it for Thanksgiving. Since it has onion, I don't eat it myself, but everyone says it is awesome. This makes a large batch. The dressing can be increased or decreased, depending on how moist you like your salad.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your potato salad a more interesting flavor and texture. Yukon Gold and red potatoes are great options, but you can use any type of potato you like.
- Cook the potatoes until they are just tender. You don't want them to be mushy, so be careful not to overcook them.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the dressing. This will help the potatoes absorb the flavors of the dressing.
- Use a mayonnaise-based dressing. This is the classic potato salad dressing, but you can use any type of dressing you like. A vinaigrette or yogurt-based dressing would be a good option.
- Add your favorite mix-ins. This is where you can really get creative. Some popular mix-ins include hard-boiled eggs, celery, onion, pickles, and bacon.
