- To test if potatoes are cooked, use a pointed knife and poke a potato with the tip. If it goes in and slides out easily, the potatoes are ready. Turn off the heat and drain potatoes in a colander. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to let them cool down.
- Meanwhile, finely slice the onion and cornichons and transfer to the same bowl.
- Once the potatoes have cooled down, add to the mixing bowl with the onions and cornichons and mix together.
- Now add mayonnaise and a dollop of mustard (I used Thomy mustard). Stir together. Add white ground pepper and salt to taste and gently incorporate together.
- Lastly, add the white wine vinegar. Mix well and taste the potato salad. Adjust taste if needed (add more mayo, salt or white pepper, depending on preference). Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with finely cut chives (if adding).
