Cook potatoes in salted water until done (should be soft, but not mushy), 15 to 20 minutes. Pour into colander; rinse well with cold water and drain well. Place in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, mix mayonnaise and remaining ingredients, stirring well to combine. Pour mayonnaise mixture over potatoes; toss gently with a wooden spoon until potatoes are thoroughly coated. Plunge a potato masher five or six times into the mixture, to lightly break up potatoes. Cover, and chill thoroughly. If desired, garnish with paprika and chopped chives or chopped parsley. Yield: 10 to 12 servings. |
