2. Add onion, celery, pickles and eggs to bowl with potatoes and gently mix. In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, mustard, chives and remaining 2 Tbsp. cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Pour mixture over potatoes and toss gently. Cover and chill for at least 5 hours.
Dang the chicken salad is gone. Didn't order fries. And now have to wait five hours to eat again?
Waitress, please bring those fries! Yes dear lady, should have ordered them with the chicken salad.

In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
Wow, that potato salad looks good!
Bump for later use ... I can put it on toast squares for my prayer group, y’all.
