Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 quarts Water
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into slices about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Carefully add the potato slices to the boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Be careful not to overcook them so they don't fall apart.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely slice the red onion into thin rings and roughly chop the fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper to create the dressing.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the warm potatoes, red onion slices, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Be careful not to break the potatoes while mixing.
Let the salad rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the potato salad slightly warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with grilled fish, roasted meats, or as part of a Mediterranean-style meal.
