A so-called American potato salad is made with mayonnaise instead of the vinaigrette the French traditionally use, and a little diced celery is added for crunch. Buy large potatoes, to cut down on peeling time. This is usually tossed, but looks more elegant left layered.
Put the potatoes in a pot with cold water to cover and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer for about 35 minutes, or until potatoes can be easily pierced with a paring knife. Drain in a colander, rinse with cold water to make them easier to handle, and then pull away the peel in strips by pinching it between your thumb and a paring knife. Let the potatoes cool completely.
