Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain. Let cool until easy to handle, about 5 minutes. Peel while still warm. Slice thinly and place in a large bowl. Add the onion.

Stir the hot broth with the vinegar, oil, salt, and sugar. Pour it immediately over the warm potatoes and onion; the potatoes should still be warm so they absorb the dressing better. Let stand for 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve warm.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
