A timelapse of me researching and recreating my grandfather's vinegar-based potato salad. I wrote a small essay about it and did a simple voice over.  Might be good for someone, throwing it up for myself and some friends.

Opa's Potato Salad
Ingredients
2 pounds of washed, unpeeled potatoes.
.5 pounds of yellow onion
1/2 Cup Neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil
1/8 cup Apple cider vinegar
1-2 Tbsp Water
1 Rounded tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
Butter knife tip of Mustard
2 Shakes Maggi

Wash and boil potatoes until fork penetrates through but still has a little resistance. It's okay to cut open your bigger potatos and see.

Using an ice bath, peel the potatoes by hand. Once peeled grate using the side that slices like a janky mandolin. You can also do this by hand if you're into rustic stuff. Set aside and dice your onion as fine as you can. We use that cray cray 2 knife method where you play the onions like a drum.

Add in your onions with the rest of the ingredients and stir, trying not to mash the potatoes. Add more oil and vinegar to taste. Let cool to room temp or place in teh fridge for up to 4 hours.
