ANDALUSIAN POTATO SALAD

Andalusian Potato Salad image

You'd be crazy to go to an Andalusian tapas bar and not order papas alinas (marinated potatoes). These are shallow bowls of diced yellow potatoes tossed with sweet white onions, green peppers, and sometimes tomato and tuna, then generously bathed with a good olive oil and sherry vinegar. The secret is the texture; the potatoes are slightly mashed rather than diced so they absorb the dressing better. Another secret is to use the best possible olive oil and be generous with it.

Time 37m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 medium yukon gold potatoes (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds total)
1 small sweet white onion, finely diced
3 vine-ripened tomatoes, peeled, seeded and finely diced
4 tablespoons scallions, minced
1/2 cup fragrant extra virgin olive oil
6 -7 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar (preferably aged)
kosher salt
minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

Place the potatoes in a medium-size saucepan, add enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes, partially covered, until they are completely tender when pricked with a skewer, 30 to 35 minutes. Drain the potatoes. When just cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and cut them into a very fine dice.
Place the diced potatoes and the onion, Italian pepper, tomato, scallion, 1/3 cup of the olive oil, and 6 tablespoons of the vinegar in a bowl and stir to mix. Season with salt to taste. Toss everything together, crushing the potatoes slightly, so that they are half mashed. Let the salad stand for about 2 hours to absorb the dressing. Taste and add more vinegar as necessary.
To serve, spread the potato salad on a serving plate, sprinkle with parsley on top, then drizzle the remaining oil over it.

CONFETTI POTATO SALAD

Confetti Potato Salad image

Such a pretty and yet so easy and great tasting potato salad my whole family loves. Even a little seeded and diced chilli can be added and pine nuts can be used in place of sesame seeds if you prefer. I use different colour capsicums for colour but you can use just one colour, and it still tastes great!!!

Use a variety of potatoes for a more flavorful salad. For example, try using red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and fingerling potatoes.
Cook the potatoes until they are tender, but not mushy. You want them to hold their shape in the salad.
Let the potatoes cool slightly before adding them to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Use a light hand when dressing the salad. You don't want to overpower the flavor of the potatoes.
Add some fresh herbs to the salad for a pop of flavor. Some good options include parsley, cilantro, and chives.
