Yummy potato salad recipe

I made this potato salad for Father's Day lunch and it was a big hit. I even liked it and I am not a fan of potato salad.

Recipe:

3 lbs red potatoes
1 tbsp of kosher salt plus 2 tsp after salad is made
1-1/4 cups mayo
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 to 2 jalapenos chopped
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
6 green onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro or fresh parsley

1. Cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil over medium hear. Add 1 tbsp of salt and simmer until tender. Drain and cool slightly.
2. Combine mayo, vinegar, jalapenos, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients and stir gently.
3. Cut the potatoes into slices or cubes, depending how you like it. Gently fold in the potatoes.

I made this salad the night before and before I served I added a little more salt and tossed then added some fresh green onions on top. It was very flavorful and not too spicy with the mayo and potatoes. I used 1 jalapeno, but next time I will use 2.
