Potato salad

Potato salad 1) Place the potatoes and 2 tbsp of salt in a large saucepan of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pan and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, dill, 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of pepper. Set aside.

When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in quarters or in half, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. While the potatoes are still warm, pour enough dressing over them to moisten.

Add the celery and red onion, 2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of pepper. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavours to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.
