Step 3
Place a layer of potatoes into a serving square or ring—this will be the base of the salad. Peel, rinse, and cut the white onion in half. Dice half of the onion finely and place it on top of the potato layer. If using red onion, marinate the diced pieces in vinegar beforehand, then squeeze them dry before adding to remove their bitterness.
