NEW YORK DELI POTATO SALAD
I have only found my favorite potato salad in delicatessens in New York City and Long Island and in some Italian and Jewish delis elsewhere. After much searching, a friend on Long Island sent me this recipe which comes as close to perfection as any I've tried. The recipe may be cut down as the quantities are for a party.

NEW YORK DELI STYLE POTATO SALAD
When I moved down South, after living in New York for 35 years, I could no longer find a "deli" style potato salad I liked. I like a simple vinegar based salad with just a small amount of finely diced onion. Common in most Deli's on Long Island, NY. I have tweaked a few recipe's I found on recipezaar and below seems to be the best. I'm famous for cooking my potatos too long, so cook them till you think they're done! I like to use a new potato and tried it with those dutch baby yellow potatos last night. Yummy!

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a big pot of water. Turn up the heat to high! Cook them to perfection in boiling water. Don't over cook (they will be too mushy). Don't under cook. I can't give you an exact time but start checking after 20 minutes. You just need to use your fork and your cooking instincts. Peeling: You can peel them before boiling but it's easier to pull off the skins after cooking. Tip : Let them cool, first! After cooking, drain well and let them cool down. After a spell, chill in the fridge until they are cold. During the cooling off period grate ½ cup of carrots and ¼ cup of minced curly parsley. Take the cool potatoes and slice them thin. (About a quarter of an inch or so) Place sliced potatoes in a giant mixing bowl and add the mayo, white vinegar, sugar, salt, carrots and parley too. Gently mix it up with a big 'ole spoon. Adjust to taste. Chill, may be eaten it within 3 days preparing.
Tips:
- Use the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes are the best choices for potato salad, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Cook the potatoes correctly: Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, but not mushy. You want them to be firm enough to hold their shape, but not so hard that they are difficult to eat.
- Prepare the potatoes in advance: You can boil the potatoes up to 2 days ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you are making the potato salad.
- Use a good mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the key ingredient in potato salad, so make sure you use a good quality brand. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid using salad dressing or Miracle Whip.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: Potato salad is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Some popular mix-ins include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, pickles, and bacon.
- Chill the potato salad before serving: Potato salad is best served chilled. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
