This authentic German Potato Salad is my grandma's original recipe. It is a traditional recipe made year-round in Southern Germany. The potato salads in Northern Germany are prepared differently.

1/3cupavocado oilor sunflower oil
1TbspDijon mustard

Instructions
Wash and boil potatoes in abundant water for 20-40 minutes depending on the size. Keep checking them often to ensure you remove them from the water when they are barely finished cooking through.
While potatoes are boiling, peel and finely chop onion and add to a large salad bowl.
Peel the potatoes while still hot or at least warm. Then slice them into about 1/5" thick slices and add them to the onions.
Prepare the dressing by adding Dijon mustard, sea salt, oil, and broth to a bowl and whisk until well combined.
Add the dressing over the potatoes and gently mix to combine.
Use scissors to cut some chives into the salad as garnish.
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the dressing then serve.
