Cook hard cooking potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Chop onions into small pieces.

Saute onions in vegetable oil until soft, about 3-4 minutes.

Deglaze the onions with a mixture of apple vinegar and white wine vinegar; let it cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce.

Add beef stock to the onion and vinegar mixture; let it cook for another 5 minutes.

Add about 1 tablespoon of plain mustard, a generous amount of pepper, salt, and a little sugar to the mixture; stir to combine.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning, adding more salt if necessary; let it cook for a couple more minutes to reduce further.

Peel the cooked potatoes and slice them into rounds.

Add the dressing to the sliced potatoes; mix gently to coat each slice without breaking them.

Let the potato salad rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the potatoes to soak up the dressing; stir occasionally and add more dressing if it looks dry.

After resting, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, and vinegar if needed.

Add vegetable oil to the salad to make it creamy and enhance the flavor; mix gently.
