Pickled Potato Salad

I’m Irish, so if you put a potato in front of me, I’m going to love it. But if you put a potato salad in front of me, I do have this short list of requests right here: lots of acid (that will always work in your favor), a little bit of heat (never a bad idea), fresh herbiness (a reliable balance to starchy), and a hard no to raw onions stinking up the bowl. If you’ve been dying to have a killer potato salad in your arsenal—and really, everyone should—this recipe will help get you on the right track.
