Method

Peel and cut potatoes into ¾ inch cubes.

Cover potatoes with an inch of water in a large saucepan and boil.

Add 1 tablespoon salt to boiling water and reduce heat to medium.

Simmer about 8 minutes, stirring gently once or twice, until potatoes are tender. (Taste a piece-don't overcook!)

Drain potatoes and place in a large bowl.

Toss gently with vinegar, with a rubber spatula.

Cool potatoes. They must be no more than barely warm to mix.

Chop celery fine.

Stir together celery, celery seeds, mayonnaise, dry mustard, onion, parsley, pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt.

Gently fold together dressing mix and potatoes.

Cover and refrigerate at least an hour, until thoroughly chilled.
