Ingredients
  • 3 pounds waxy potatoes (such as Yukon gold or new), scrubbed and cut into ¾-inch cubes
  • ⅓ cup white-wine vinegar
  • 4 scallions, white part minced, green part thinly sliced
  • Coarse salt
  • Ground pepper
  • ¾ cup light mayonnaise
Instructions
  1. Set a steamer basket in a Dutch oven (or large pot with a lid), and add enough salted water to come just below basket; bring to a boil.
  2. Place potatoes in basket, cover pot, and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Steam potatoes, gently tossing occasionally, until tender, 15 to 25 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine vinegar, scallion whites, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
  4. Add hot potatoes to vinegar mixture; toss to combine. Cool to room temperature, tossing occasionally, about 1 hour.
  5. Add mayonnaise and scallion greens to cooled potatoes; mix gently to combine. Serve, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.
