Greek Potato Salad-The Ultimate Potato Salad
Description
The recipe involves boiling 2 pounds of potatoes until tender, then peeling and cutting them to preferred sizes. While still warm, the potatoes are dressed with a combination of olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar, which melds into the potato flesh to impart a tangy richness. Finely chopped onion adds crunch and sharpness, while dried oregano rubbed between the fingers releases its aroma, infusing the salad with herbaceous notes. Salt is added to taste to enhance the overall balance.
The texture combines soft potatoes with the crisp onion and the slightly oily, tangy coating of dressing. The simple method and ingredients highlight the fresh flavors and make it a suitable side dish for many meals, especially summer barbecues or Mediterranean-inspired menus. Serving while the potatoes are still warm helps the flavors meld and provides a comforting satisfaction.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potato 1 kg
- 1/3-1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 onion small, chopped
- 1-2 tablespoons oregano
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar
Instructions
- Wash potatoes and boil for about 45 minutes, until pierced easily with a fork.
- Once potatoes are boiled run through cold water and peel.
- Cut potatoes in your preferred shape and place in a bowl.
- Mix the olive oil with the lemon juice (or vinegar) and add to the potatoes (make sure the potatoes are warm so that they will absorb the olive oil well, this makes a good salad) and mix gently.
- Add the onion and oregano (rubbing it between your fingers to release the aroma) and blend.
- Add salt to taste.
