Drain and cool potatoes
Drain boiled potatoes in colander and let them cool slightly until you can handle them comfortably. Peel while still warm and slice into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
Make the dressing
In a bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, white vinegar, grain mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
