Ingredients

  • 2 lb. red or yukon potatoes
  • 1/2 c. beef broth
  • 1/2 c. finely diced onion
  • 6 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1/4 c. diced chives
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Boil the potatoes until they are fork tender. Drain the potatoes and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking. Peel and chop the potatoes and place them in a medium bowl.
  • Add the beef broth, vinegar, sugar, dijon, salt and pepper to a small saucepan. Heat just until it comes to a boil and pour over the potatoes. Allow the salad to rest for 20 minutes while potatoes soak up some of the excess liquid.
  • Before serving, toss with the fresh lemon juice and chopped chives.
