Country Ham and Potato Salad Recipe

  • 12 ounces red-skinned potatoes (about 3 medium), unpeeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

  • 3 tablespoons coarse-grained Dijon mustard
  • 4 ounces ham, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
  • 2 medium-size beefsteak tomatoes, thinly sliced
