How to Make New York Style Potato Salad

  1. Place quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  2. Drain potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel and dice the potatoes into approximately 1/2-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat.
  4. Let the potatoes cool completely to room temperature. This step helps prevent a watery salad.
  5. Add the chopped celery, hard-boiled eggs, red onion, and parsley to the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise and white wine vinegar until smooth and creamy.
  7. Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the potato salad. Gently fold until the potatoes are evenly coated. Add more mayonnaise if desired, to reach your preferred consistency.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy!
