Instructions
- 1
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add 1 tbsp kosher salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork but still hold their shape, about 12–15 minutes. Do not overcook — they should offer slight resistance at the center.

Drain the potatoes in a colander, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar over the hot potatoes and toss gently to coat. Spread them out slightly and let cool for 15 minutes, until no longer steaming.
