Italian Potato Salad Recipe

A simple version of potato salad... Italian style!
Course Main Dish, Side Dish
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 5 potatoes peeled and chopped in 1" cubes
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in a large pot until they are tender, but still firm. The time can vary for different types of potatoes, so check periodically. For baking potatoes, it is about 10 minutes.
  2. Drain and let cool. Run under cold water to prevent further cooking if concerned about overcooking.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the potatoes, parsley, vinegar, garlic, olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Cover and leave in refrigerator until needed.

Recipe Notes

TIP #1: Add some shopped onions or thin onion slices for additional flavors. This is how my mother in law prepares her Italian potato salad. I prefer mine without the onions.
TIP #2: This goes great with many meat recipes, such as our whole roasted chicken recipe or lamb chops recipe.
