- After draining the cooked potatoes, let them cool just enough to handle.
- If the broth has cooled, heat it again until very hot. Remove from heat, then whisk in the vinegar, mustard, and sugar until combined. Add the finely chopped red onion and transfer to a large bowl.
- Peel one potato, slice it, and add it to the bowl with the warm dressing. Stir gently. Repeat for remaining potatoes.
- Allow the potato salad to rest for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- Stir in the vegetable oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
