Steps:
- Place un-peeled whole potatoes in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, add 1/2 Tbsp of salt and continue cooking at a medium boil for about 25 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork. Do not overcook - potatoes should not be falling apart when pierced. Remove from water and set aside to cool completely to room temp then peel and dice just before adding to the salad. Potatoes can be cooked 1-2 days in advanced, covered and refrigerated until ready to use.
- Stir together dressing ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Combine all prepared ingredients in a large mixing bowl: diced potatoes, diced cucumber, sliced radishes, finely diced celery, diced eggs and chopped green onions. Toss gently to combine. Add all of the dressing, or add to taste. Season with more salt and pepper to taste and serve (I added an extra 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper). Garnish with more chives and freshly cracked black pepper to pretty it up.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, and are less likely to fall apart when boiled.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and fall apart easily.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before making the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise: A good quality mayonnaise will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
- Add some flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your potato salad, such as celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, pickles, or bacon.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help to make the flavors meld together and will also make the salad more refreshing.
