Potato Salad with Vinegar
Potato salad with vinegar is a delicious and tangy side for burgers, chicken, hot dogs, and sandwiches. This zesty dish is ideal for Kosher cooking.
The Backstory: This potato salad with vinegar is an ideal side dish for anyone who is not a lover of mayo and also as an accompaniment to Kosher meals. I know it’s not a traditional preparation, but this is as tasty as potato salads that are loaded down with mayo and until you’ve tried it, you won’t believe what you’ve been missing.

…The Backstory continues: My daughter loves this recipe because it’s so versatile and everything that’s added in to the basic recipe is basically an add-on. You can change it up at your whim and you can also alter the flavor with different flavored vinegars such as champagne vinegar which gives it a really nice kick, if you happen to have it on hand and want to swap it out for the red wine vinegar in this recipe.
The best part about this recipe is that you have the flexibility to chop up and add whatever veggie or herb happens to be on hand in your fridge. Serve this when you are having the gang over for a cookout, or as a side for a sandwich. Use your imagination, this is so basic that it goes with just about anything you are preparing. Add your own magic touch. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!
