Potato Salad
This is one of many ways to make a potato salad in Italy. I first ate this one in Calabria in the south of Italy.
2 lb. potatoes
6 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp. fresh finely chopped Italian parsley
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 tsp. red wine vinegar
2 tsp. oregano (dry)
a good pinch of pepper
salt to taste
1. In a large pot boil the potatoes whole in salted water until done.
2. In the meantime prepare the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Start by putting the oil salt, pepper and vinegar and beat them together with a fork.
3. Then add the oregano, garlic and parsley and continue beating with a fork until well combined.
4. When the potatoes are ready drain them and peel them. Be careful that you don't burn your fingers. If you are not in a hurry let them cool a bit first.
5. Once the potatoes are peeled cut them into cubes and place them in a bowl.
6. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
7. Serve immediately or put it in the refrigerator and serve later.
This is a light potato salad perfect for the summer as a side dish.
