LEMONY POTATO SALAD

LEMONY POTATO SALAD


3 lbs. small boiling potatoes
1 cup chopped celery (about 4 ribs)
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup finally chopped chives
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Cover potatoes with water in a large pot and season well with salt. Bring to a boil, and then simmer until tender, 12 to 20 minutes.

While potatoes cook, stir together celery, mayonnaise, chives, lemon zest and juice, sugar, 1-tsp. salt, and ¾ tsp. pepper in a large bowl.

Drain potatoes and cool completely, then halve or quarter. Add to dressing and toss to coat.

COOKS NOTE: Potato salad can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Bring to room temperature before serving.
