Preparation
Step 1
1. Place potatoes and 2 Tbsp salt in a large pot of water. Bring water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife.
2. Drain potatoes in a colander. Then place colander, with potatoes in it, over the empty pot and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Allow to steam for 15-20 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together spicy mayonnaise, buttermilk, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper. Set aside.
4. When potatoes are cool to handle, cut into quarters or halves, depending on the size. Place cut potatoes in a large bowl. While still warm, pour enough dressing over them to moisten. Add the celery and onion, 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper. Toss well, cover and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.
5. Serve cold or at room temperature.
