1 pound waxy potatoes, cut in 1-inch dice
2 tablespoons finely minced red onion, soaked for five minutes in cold water, then drained, rinsed, and drained on paper towels
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt to taste
1 small garlic clove, green shoot removed, minced or pureed
