Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

5 pounds boiled potatoes (new potatoes are best) -- chilled,

then

peeled and sliced 3/16 " thick (not diced).

Do not use baking potatoes. Do not overcook.

1/2 cup grated carrot -- (optional)

1 1/2 cups Hellman's or Best Foods Mayo

1/4 cup Heinz white vinegar

1 Tbl Diamond kosher salt

1/2 Tbl ground black pepper

 

Mix potatoes with dressing (mix with hands).

 

Not all potatoes are created equal, so.... Thin dressing with milk

Refrigerate 24 hours before serving.

 

Dust finished salad with paprika.

 

NYC deli-style potato salad contains no onion, no sugar.
