How To Make super quick potato salad

Step 1

Microwave potatoes on high for about 3 minutes, check to see if they are tender by squeezing lightly. If they yield to pressure but don't feel quite tender, turn them over and rotate position and microwave in 30 second increments until just done but NOT soft and mushy. Remember they continue to cook for a while as they sit. Let cool on countertop while chopping other items. They may still be warm when you peel them, and that's ok.

Step 2

Chop celery, pickle, and onion. Place in medium bowl. Add mustard, vinegar and 1/2 c dressing of your choice, mix well. (if it is too sharp from the vinegar, add a pinch or two of sugar)
Step 3

Peel and chop potatoes into about 1/2- 3/4 inch dice, add to dressing/veggie mixture, season with pepper and salt, mix together lightly but thoroughly, adding extra mayo/Miracle Whip if needed.
Step 4

Serve warm, or refrigerate and serve cold.
