Spicy Potato Salad

2 lb. new potatoes (skin left on)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1-1/2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced red onion
3/4 cup diced dill pickles
1/4 cup diced black olives
1 cup mayonaise
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
3 hard cooked eggs (optional)

Directions:

Boil potatoes until tender but still a firm center (15 minutes). Whisk olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper together in large bowl. Drain potatoes and when cool enough to handle, cut in 1-inch cubes. Toss with vinaigrette, until coated. Let cool.

When cool, add diced vegetables, pickles and olives. Mix. Mix mayonaise with cayenne pepper in small bowl and add to potato mixture. All chopped eggs and toss gently. Chill for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
