The vision behind this recipe was a deconstructed (pickled) potato salad using potatoes, celery, shallots (or red onion), garlic, dill and mustard (seeds and ground). I’m pretty pleased with the results, especially given the very limited inspiration I found online for pickled potatoes (a.k.a., they don’t really exist in other people’s pickle repertoires).
