1. Rinse and scrub potatoes; then slice into 1/4 (quarters) for ease in cooking. In a big saucepan place a steamer and then potatoes and steam until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork. If you prefer boiling potatoes, place in salted water and boil until tender.
2. Once potatoes are through cooking, drain (if boiling them) or if steaming place in a large bowl and allow to cool until they can be handled, then peel the skin (easy task), sprinkle with salt and 1 Tb. cider vinegar. Set aside.
3. Prepare the dressing. Add mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, red wine vinegar, and apple cider to the bowl of your food processor or smaller bowl for use of a stick blender. A whisk may also be used to blend all the ingredients then slowly stream the olive oil as you blend.
4. Taste and adjust flavor to your liking, i.e. add more salt, vinegar,or herbs for herbal flavor.
5. Add dressing to the potatoes along with the green onions and herbs (if using). Toss to combine. Taste the potato salad and adjust salt and pepper. Now the potatoes are ready to enjoy although they will soak in more flavor the longer they sit.
6. Serve warm, chilled, or room temperature. Store leftovers in the refrierator up to 4 days.
