This potato salad is the perfect pairing with our schnitzel recipe. The two always went together with cucumber salad when my mother, Lucie, made this meal. It is one of our family's absolute favorites, so it is our pleasure to share it with you. Mayonaisse is the key ingredient, so be sure not to skimp!

Serves 4-6, ready in 45 minutes

8-10 small to medium red bliss or white potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp tarragon vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
salt to your liking
a pinch of sugar
2 tbsp chopped red onion or scallions
a few grinds of black pepper
garnish with curly or flat leaf parsley

Bring water to a boil over in a large pot. Add potatoes and a little salt and reduce heat a little and cook potatoes until they are tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and cool in a colander, until potatoes are ready for peeling and cutting.

Cut potatoes into one inch cubes and place in bowl, salting each layer. The salting is a necessary step and should not be overlooked - it brings out the flavor. In a separate serving bowl, mix mayonaisse, oil, vinegar, mustard and sugar until mixture is creamy. Slowly add salted potatoes to the serving bowl and combine so that the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing.

Add red onion and mix. Before serving grind a little pepper onto top of salad and garnish with parsley.
