Ingredients:

• 3 lbs. potatoes (about 10 medium)  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt  
• 3/4 (+/-) cup mayonnaise (added last)
• Marinade:  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt  
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard  
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper  
• dash cayenne pepper  
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar  
• 1/2 cup salad oil  
• 1/2 cup chopped onion  
• 1 cup coarsely chopped celery (opt)
• 3 hard-cooked eggs (opt)  
• 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish (opt)  

Method

In a 5-quart Dutch oven, boil potatoes in just enough salted water to cover. Boil until potatoes are fork-tender, not mushy. Drain and cool 10-15 mins. Make marinade. Mix all ingredients except mayonnaise and pour over warm potatoes. Adjust seasonings to taste. Place in refrigerator to chill, stirring occasionally to distribute marinade. After mixture is chilled, add just enough mayonnaise to give a creamy texture.
