- 4 large Kennebec or baking potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons mustard seeds
- 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup rice bran or canola oil
- 2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced

- Drain and transfer to a baking sheet to cool.
- Light a grill or preheat a grill pan.
- Lay 2 large sheets of heavy-duty foil on a work surface.

- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring the rice vinegar just to a boil.
- Add the mustard seeds and let cool completely.
- Whisk in the sherry vinegar, maple syrup, lemon juice and rice bran oil.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl.
- Add the celery, scallions and dressing and gently toss to coat.
