These potatoes are easy and make a great side dish on any plate with an entrée and vegetables or a green salad, or with sandwiches. My rule of thumb is to use one more potato than the number of people I’m feeding, depending on how big the potatoes are. Russets are nice, but we’ve also used Yukon Golds or any other potatoes we have on hand. I haven’t tried this recipe with sweet potatoes, but now I think I should give that a try. Dijon mustard, or a nice spicy brown with whole seeds, are good choices. If you only have yellow, or if that’s what you prefer, go for it.

I ended up adding another potato to these four - we love these potatoes! |

a large bowl, toss all ingredients until potatoes and onions are well coated

(Please imagine a photo of peeled, cubed potatoes here. I forgot to take one.)
