Directions

  1. Place the large potato in a saucepan and cover with water.

  5. In a small cup, whisk together the salad oil, white vinegar, and salt.
  6. Pour the dressing over the warm diced potatoes and toss gently to coat.
  7. Let the potatoes sit for a few minutes to absorb the dressing and cool down.
  8. Add the sliced celery, chopped green pepper, pimento, slivered olives, and green onion to the bowl.
  9. In a separate small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and cottage cheese until well combined.
  10. Add the cheese mixture to the potato and vegetable mixture.
