Ingredients

1/4 cup chopped cornichons or relish

2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard

1 tablespoon honey

2 ribs celery, diced

Zest and juice from 1 lemon

1/2 small red onion, minced

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus more for garnish

Directions

- In a bowl, mix together the cornichons or relish, mustard, honey, celery, lemon zest and juice and red onion. Season with salt and pepper and let sit while the potatoes cook.

- Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Season the water generously with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.

- Drain the potatoes in a colander, put back in the saucepan, add the vinegar and, using a rubber spatula, toss gently to combine.

- Add the mayonnaise, chives and parsley to the celery-onion mixture and stir to combine. Add the warm potatoes to the dressing and toss. Season to taste. Garnish with extra chives and parsley.
