 * 1 pound small fingerling potatoes, washed
 * 2 sprigs fresh thyme
 * 2½ tablespoons kosher salt
 * 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

 * 2) Add enough cold water to cover completely.

 * 5) Drain the potatoes.
 * 6) While they are still hot, peel them. As each potato is peeled, cut it crosswise into ¼-inch slices
 * 7) Add to the hot potato slices the onion, remaining salt, sugar, pepper, vinegar, and oil.
 * 8) Stir gently but thoroughly with a large spoon to combine the ingredients.
 * 9) Before serving, heat the broth in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.

 * 11) Garnish with parsley or chives and serve immediately.
