 Ingredients:

2lbs red potatoes, sliced into ¼ inch thick rounds

1/3 cup of cooking liquid from potatoes

1/3 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped (and more for garnish)

1/3 cup roughly chopped green onions, plus more for garnish

3 stalks celery, chopped

4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

4 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon hot sauce (we used mild)

1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 pickle, chopped

2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

Fresh ground pepper to taste

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

1. In large saucepan add potatoes and chopped garlic cloves then cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are easily pierced by a knife (about 5-6 min).
2. Reserve 1/3 cup of cooking water, then drain. Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
3. Combine the 1/3 cup of cooking water,  hot sauce, vinegar, 1/3 cup parsley, 1/3 cup green onions, lemon juice, mustard, garlic and pepper. Mix with a fork of whisk until it turns into a sauce consistency.
4. Pour the sauce mixture over the potatoes and mix well using a fork or a spoon (a fork will give the potatoes a more mashed/broken consistency). 
5. Add the celery and chopped pickle to the bowl, along with a couple tablespoons of chopped parsley and green onions. Toss again.  Season to taste with onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper (salt optional).  Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.
