LIGHT AND EASY GREEK POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place red potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and chill in freezer until cold, about 30 minutes.
• Slice potatoes and place into a large salad bowl; toss potatoes with green onion. Whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, oregano, sugar, rosemary, and red pepper in a bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss. Serve immediately or chill until serving time.

GREEK POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Drain the (hot) potatoes of any liquid and cut into nice big chunks.
• Add all the ingredients, except parsley and/or cilantro and stir, carefully, to incorporate the oil into the potato (most of the oil will be absorbed, but some may reappear if the salad sits too long- just give it another stir).
• Many of the potato chunks will start to puree and others will stay in nice big pieces- texturally you're going from creamy to chunky in ever bite. When the salad has cooled a bit, add the parsley and/or cilantro. I like this warm or at room temperature - never cold.
• If it's not all gone by the end of the day, it can be used as the base for a yummy (garlicky) soup.

• Add the potatoes to a pot of cold water, enough to cover them by 1 1/2 inches. Bring the water to a boil and boil the potatoes over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes.
• Test the potatoes for doneness after 10 minutes. They should pierce easily with a fork when they're ready. If they're not quite there yet, keep checking in 1-minute increments.
• Remove the potatoes from the heat as soon as they're done and drain them. Overcooking will turn them to mush when you prepare the salad.
• Place the potatoes in a serving bowl or dish. Add the onions and toss together.
• Combine the olive oil, lemon juice , garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl using a whisk.
• Add the dressing to the potato and onion mixture just before you're ready to serve and combine well. Sprinkle with the parsley.
