Dice half of a white onion finely and add it to a large bowl.

Peel the potatoes while they are still hot, using a cutting board if necessary.

Slice the peeled potatoes and transfer them to the bowl with the onion.

9

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, 1/3 cup of avocado oil, and 1 cup of hot beef broth until well combined.

10

Pour the dressing over the potatoes and onion, and stir gently to combine.

Cut fresh chives into small pieces using scissors and add them to the salad, stirring again to mix.
