Marinated Potato Salad

ms_bold's Note:

A different type of potato salad. It is slightly sweet. I have a favorite recipe with mustard, but sometimes, this just seems appropriate. Cook and prep time does not include 12 hour marinating time.

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes.
3. Drain and allow to cool.
4. Slice cooled potatoes and layer in a large bowl or dish.
5. In a saucepan combine water, vinegar and sugar.
6. Bring to a boil and cook for one minute.

This was a huge hit at a recent cookout. My teenage nephews and their friends especially enjoyed this salad. I made as directed, but at Ms. Bold's suggestion cut the ammount of sugar in half. Thanks for a tasty slightly different potato salad. I made the entire recipe and was left with an empty bowl!

This is quite different from my usual potato salad and I wasn't sure about the sugar in this one. But it was an excellent salad. I made it with 1 pound of potatoes and 1/4 measures of all the other ingredients as there are only two of us. If your meal plan could use a bit of sweet and savory, then this will fill the bill nicely.
