Old-Fashioned Potato Salad

Ingredients:

2-1/4 pounds red boiling potatoes, cooked, cooled, skinned
3/4 cup celery, small dice
1 cup Vidalia or other sweet onion, finely diced
1 cup Best Foods/Hellman’s Light Mayonnaise
4 large eggs, hard boiled
1 large clove garlic, halved
2 to 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1-1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1-1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Directions:

Put whole potatoes in a 5-quart pot; cover with water to about 2-inches above potatoes, lightly sprinkle with salt and bring to a boil. When potatoes come to a full boil, reduce heat to medium, cover and adjust lid to let steam escape. Cook about 20 to 25 minutes; test for tenderness with a meat fork. DO NOT OVERCOOK. When potatoes are done, drain and set aside until cool enough to peel. Cut a large garlic clove in half and rub the sides and bottom of the serving bowl with each half of the garlic clove. After rubbing the bowl, mince the garlic clove halves and set aside. Prepare remaining ingredients, beginning by cutting the potatoes into the serving bowl, including the minced garlic. Add fat-reduced mayonnaise and about 2 Tbsp of the red wine vinegar. Mix all ingredients thoroughly, adding more vinegar a few drops at a time, if needed, until desired consistency and taste is reached. Salt and pepper to taste. Chill at least 2 to 3 hours before serving.
