Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Pitted green olives
- 0.5 cup Roasted red peppers
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 2 Hard-boiled eggs
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Finely dice the red onion and chop the green olives and roasted red peppers into small pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Roughly chop the fresh parsley and hard-boiled eggs, then add them to the bowl with the vegetables.
Add the cooked and slightly cooled potatoes to the mixing bowl. Pour the prepared dressing over the top.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated in the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice, if necessary.
Serve the Spanish Style Potato Salad slightly warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
