Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Baby potatoes (yellow or red)
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 0.75 cup Marinated artichoke hearts, quartered
- 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking but leave smaller ones whole.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with water until they are fully submerged. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skins on for texture and flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olives, artichoke hearts, capers, red onion, and parsley. Toss gently to mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the warm potatoes to the bowl with the olive mixture, then pour the dressing over the top. Toss gently to coat everything evenly in the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to taste.
Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
