Ingredients

Coarse salt and ground pepper

4 pounds Yukon gold or other waxy potatoes, scrubbed, halved, and sliced 1/2 inch thick

1/2 cup white-wine vinegar

4 scallions, thinly sliced

1/2 cup olive oil

Preparation

Set a steamer basket in a large pot. Fill with enough salted water to come just below basket. Bring to a boil; place potatoes in basket, and reduce heat to medium. Cover, and steam, gently tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine vinegar and scallions in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. When potatoes are cooked, transfer to bowl with vinegar mixture. Toss to combine; let cool, tossing occasionally.

When potato mixture is cool, mix in oil; season potato salad with salt and pepper.
