This recipe was handed down to me by word of mouth and by just simply watching it being made by my mom, not using exact measurements but[ going by taste alone. It can be adjusted to be more or less tart. My mom learned this one from my dad and his mother. My parents are both Eastern Block backgrounds (Czech/Russian/Romanian).]
Ingredients:
10 peeled and boiled potatoes
2 -3 shredded sweet onions (spanish or vidalia)
1 cup white vinegar
2 cups water
2 - 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
one bunch fresh dill, chopped (large stalks taken out)
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Thinly slice potatoes. Place into a non-reactive (i.e. glass) bowl. Combine with onions. Prepare the basic vinaigrette. Combine with potatoes and onions while still warm (this way the flavor soaks in). Allow to sit and absorb more flavor for a couple of hours or even overnight.
2. Tomatoes, thinly sliced, may also be added to this recipe, for additional flavor and color. This recipe is terrific for outdoor bbqs and parties as vinegar does not go bad, unlike mayo.
3. The recipes for this contest, which were provided by contributors who may not be professional chefs, have not been tested in Food Network's kitchens. Therefore, Food Network cannot attest to the accuracy of any of the recipes.
