Ingredients
For The Potato Salad:
- 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) potatoes
- 50 grams (4 medium) spring onions minced
- 70 grams (½ medium) red onion minced
- 3-4 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill minced or 1 tablespoon mint
- 2 tablespoons baby capers
- Salt and ground pepper
- kalamata olives to serve with
For The Vinaigrette:
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ¼ lemon zested
- 2 garlic cloves 2 x times pressed or grated on the finer scale of a hand grater or a zester
Instructions
Prepare The Potatoes:
- Scrub the skins of the potatoes to remove all dirt. Do this using a dish sponge under running tap water. If you prefer you can peel the potatoes.
- Boil in a cooking pot with plenty of salted water until tender when you prick with a knife but without letting them reach the point where they fall apart. Another way to cook the potatoes is to bake them as mentioned in the text above.
- Cool the potatoes at room temperature and then refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- Skin (optional) and dice the potatoes into about 2 cm (¾ to 1-inch) squares. Add to a salad bowl.
Cup of Yum
For The Vinaigrette:
- Mix all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette with a whisk and pour over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
Finish Off:
- Add all of the remaining ingredients (capers, red onion, spring onion, dill, parsley) and stir well.
- Marinate (optional). Let the salad marinate in the fridge for 2-3 hours for the flavors to blend nicely together or you can serve as is.
- Serve with Kalamata olives on top and extra olive oil if you like.
