ITALIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes, keeping skins on, until tender.
• Meanwhile, crush garlic into medium-sized serving bowl and add chopped parsley.
• Add olive oil and mix well.
• Let mixture sit while potatoes are cooking.
• When potatoes are done and still HOT (or at least very warm- they absorb the flavour better that way), cut into bite-sized chunks and add to parsley-garlic mixture.
• (If you prefer to peel your potatoes, feel free).
• Stir well to coat potatoes.
• If more oil is needed (sometimes it varies, depending on the potatoes), add enough to get desired amount.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• This is best when it sits for at least an hour at room temperature before serving to let the flavours combine.

EASY ITALIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium-size pot filled with water, boil potatoes (with skins on) for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until a knife can slide through the potato. You don't want to overcook them.
• Drain in a colander and immediately run cold water over them for a few minutes to stop the cooking process. Set potatoes into a mixing bowl and place them into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes or more to allow them to cool completely.
• Meantime, make the vinaigrette. In a small mixing bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and seasonings. Season with fresh cracked black pepper to taste.
• When potatoes are completely cool, peel and slice potatoes in half horizontally, then slice again each half vertically into 1/2-inch to 3/4 -inch thick slices or cubes, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Add onions, olives, celery, capers, and vinaigrette. Toss gently until well combined. Potatoes tend to absorb the olive oil very quickly, so you will need to drizzle additional olive oil as needed. Same with the vinegar. Then taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
• Chill at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving. Best served at room temperature or chilled. Just before you serve, toss the salad to combine the vinaigrette one last time. Then serve.
