My Mom's Croatian Potato Salad

This is so easy and so tasty - great as a side for a BBQ or summer lunch.

I don't really have a written recipe, but here's how I make it...
Ingredients
red potatoes
yellow onion (very thinly sliced)
Italian salad dressing (Whatever kind you like best) or making our own in this case - but you want something with some herbs and tang...
apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper
Boil potatoes until tender throughout, but not too soft or mushy. Cool just enough to handle and peel.
Make it in a container with a tight lid. Cut the potatoes into medium thick slices and/or wedges. Cover the bottom of the container with about a one inch layer of potatoes. Sprinkle thinly sliced onions on top of that layer. Then, sprinkle with 2 or 3 cupfuls of cider vinegar and with salt and pepper.
Keep repeating this until you've used all the potatoes.
Pour Italian dressing over the top and let it sit for quite a while to seep down through. If the container lid is tight enough, flip it over after a few hours to let the dressing drip down through again. (Can do multiple times.) I generally make this a day ahead of time and think it's better this way. Toss it around just before serving and taste test to see if any additional vinegar, salt or pepper is needed.
