Ingredients

For The Potato Salad:

  • 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) potatoes
  • 50 grams (4 medium) spring onions minced
  • 70 grams (½ medium) red onion minced
  • 3-4 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill minced or 1 tablespoon mint
  • 2 tablespoons baby capers
  • salt and ground pepper
  • Kalamata olives to serve with

For The Vinaigrette:

  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ lemon zested
  • 2 garlic cloves 2 x times pressed or grated on the finer scale of a hand grater or a zester

Instructions

Prepare The Potatoes:

  • Scrub the skins of the potatoes to remove all dirt. Do this using a dish sponge under running tap water. If you prefer you can peel the potatoes.
  • Boil in a cooking pot with plenty of salted water until tender when you prick with a knife but without letting them reach the point where they fall apart. Another way to cook the potatoes is to bake them as mentioned in the text above.
  • Cool the potatoes at room temperature and then refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
  • Skin (optional) and dice the potatoes into about 2 cm (¾ to 1-inch) squares. Add to a salad bowl.

For The Vinaigrette:

  • Mix all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette with a whisk and pour over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish Off:

  • Add all of the remaining ingredients (capers, red onion, spring onion, dill, parsley) and stir well.
  • Marinate (optional). Let the salad marinate in the fridge for 2-3 hours for the flavors to blend nicely together or you can serve as is.
  • Serve with Kalamata olives on top and extra olive oil if you like.
