Ingredients

Servings
  • 900 g / 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved Jersey Royals, or small red potatoes
  • 200 g | 7 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • 5 tbsp mini capers or finely chopped black olives
  • 1 red onion very finely sliced
  • 1/2 lemon juice only
  • 2 tbsp chopped dill or use more parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 3-5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or use Olive Oil spray for Slimming World version
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to season
  • Lemon wedges to serve

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil and add a good pinch of salt.
  2. Add the potatoes and lower heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook until fork tender - about 20 minutes.
  3. Spread the potatoes out on a platter and allow to cool.
  4. Scatter the capers, feta and red onion over the potatoes.
  5. Drizzle with the lemon juice and plenty of olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Garnish with the parsley, dill and oregano and serve with extra lemon wedges.

Cook the potatoes in the Instant Pot

  1. Add 1 cup (250ml) water in the pot, place the potatoes in a steamer basket on top and cook for 8 minutes at high pressure. Release the steam manually and remove the basket from the pressure cooker to allow the potatoes to cool down.

Notes

  • This salad will last up to 3 days in the fridge. The potatoes will happily absorb the olive oil and lemon juice and become more flavourful.
