Instructions

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until easily pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Let cool slightly.
While the potatoes are still warm, cut them into 3/4-inch dice. Place the diced potatoes in a bowl and season with vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Dice the eggs, celery, and pickle into 1/4-inch pieces. Thinly slice the scallions. Add these ingredients to the bowl with the potatoes, along with the parsley. Stir in the mayonnaise and mustard until well combined. Cover and chill thoroughly before serving your delicious potato salad.
