  • 3 pounds small red-skinned new potatoes, unpeeled
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 3 celery stalks, thinly sliced

  2. Whisk mayonnaise, 5 tablespoons chives, mustard, garlic, and cayenne pepper in small bowl to blend. Add to potato mixture and toss. Season generously with salt and pepper.
