...has not been served yet. But I tasted it. I think this one will do, oh yes. (This does not preclude trying any of your wonderful suggestions too!)

No measurements, sorry.

All-purpose or waxy potatoes, skins on b/c I am lazy that way and besides, not only is it more nutritious but I like the flavor too

Mayonnaise
Cider vinegar
Parsley
Chives
Red onion, finely diced
one shallot, minced
Smoked paprika
Salt
Pepper

Boil the potatoes until tender when poked with a fork. Drain. As soon as they're cool enough to handle but still warm, cut into chunks. (You can also cut into chunks and then cook.) Usually I do this in salted water but my sous chef forgot the salt.

Put into a big bowl and add the rest of the ingredients to taste, with just enough mayo to bind and go light on the vinegar at first, but be generous with salt and pepper. Mix it up and eat.

And you know, this would be really great with some bacon added, too.

Most things would.

Have you ever had German potato salad?

Yes, I have. It's delicious.

I didn't comment because (a) I was traveling, and (b) potato salads are so personal, y'know. But that sounds like one I would really like as long as the mayo is minimized, as the recipe suggests.

Oh yes. Smoked paprika improves most potato dishes. I have (unfortunately) lost my taste for raw onion, even in dishes like this where they BELONG, but the rest of this inspires me to make it sometime soon.
