  • 2 pounds (3–4 ea.) medium russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon plus ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • 1 medium rib of celery
  • ¾ teaspoon celery seed

Steps

  1. Peel and cut potatoes into ¾ inch cubes.
  2. Cover potatoes with an inch of water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon salt to boiling water and reduce heat to medium.
