and place over medium heat. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat and remove
lid. Gently simmer until potatoes are fork tender. Drain and place into an ice bath to cool. Remove
skin by rubbing with a tea towel. Slice potatoes into rounds and place into a zip top bag. Add the
vinegar and toss to coat all of the potatoes. Place the bag into the refrigerator overnight.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, tarragon, garlic, cornichons,
onions, and celery. Once evenly combined, add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Let the
salad chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
