  • Place them in a bowl and pour the cider vinegar over them and sprinkle with salt and pepper. You want to do this while they are still warm. Let sit for 5-10 minutes while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
  • Hard boil the eggs or alternatively steam them by placing them in a steamer basket it a pot of boiling water (about an inch of water) and let them steam for about 12 minutes. Cool in cold water and peel and dice.
  • Dice the onion and pickles.
  • Add the onions and mayo to the bowl with the potatoes and stir to combine. Add the pickles and juice, stir and adjust salt and pepper. Add the eggs, chives, and parsley and stir gently.
