New York Deli Style Potato Salad
"When I moved down South, after living in New York for 35 years, I could no longer find a "deli" style potato salad I liked. I like a simple vinegar based salad with just a small amount of finely diced onion. Common in most Deli's on Long Island, NY. I have tweaked a few recipe's I found on recipezaar and below seems to be the best. I'm famous for cooking my potatos too long, so cook them till you think they're done! I like to use a new potato and tried it with those dutch baby yellow potatos last night. Yummy!"

Being from Long Island as well... I LOVED THIS as did my family on the 4th of July yesterday! There is a "deli" near us that sells NY style but to whip this up at home is much better! THank you! -
This is a great basic recipe. I added summer savory and finely chopped parsley - just a little of each. I thought the recipe was light on onion, but stayed with the ratio. Good thing. Just enough onion without overwhelming everything else. Very much a "keeper" -
This recipe was delicious and so easy! My husband even liked it and he is usually a mustard-potato salad guy! -
This was good but compared to other potato salads I have had, I prefer the standard potato salad with eggs, onions, celery etc. Nice for a change though!

I'm a work from home mom of two, born and raised in NY now living in Chattanooga, TN. I love cooking and reading cookbooks, I'm always looking for new ideas!
Being a true Italian, I have always loved making traditional dishes like Eggplant & Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana with a side of Spaghetti, Manicotti with homemade crepe's (none of those store bought shells for me), Pasta Fagioli and good old Tiramisu!
My goal in life is to open a restaurant or catering business. I have been dabbing in catering friends parties now and then, but to do it full time would be my dream come true!
