directions
- If using old potatoes, peel and cook until tender but still firm; if using new potatoes, cook in their jackets until tender but still firm.
- You can either leave the skin (jackets) on the new potatoes or peel the skin off the new potates when cooked, if desired.
- I prefer to leave the skin (jackets) on the new potatoes.
- Slice potatoes into large dice while still warm.
- Put the warm potatoes into a bowl, pour the french dressing immediately over the warm potatoes, toss gently to coat each potato piece with the dressing.
- Let stand for 1 hour.
- Add celery and shallots.
- Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and mustard, blend well.
- Mix gently into potato mixture.
- Salt to taste and then refrigerate.
