GREEK POTATO SALAD



Greek Potato Salad image

My favourite potato salad. I sometimes jokingly call it the 'Vampire's Death' potato salad cause how could a vampire survive all that garlic?

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     Potato

Time 27m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 -6 large potatoes, cooked (I peel them and nuke them on high for 12 minutes, leave in microwave for another hour.)
1 1/2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 1/2 lemons, juice of
3/4 cup olive oil (olive oil is GOOD for you. Don't be afraid to use it!)
1 cup cilantro (we usually use spearmint) or 1/2 cup mint with 1/2 cup parsley (we usually use spearmint)

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.

PATATOSALATA (GREEK POTATO SALAD)



Patatosalata (Greek Potato Salad) image

This potato salad uses a traditional Greek oil-lemon dressing. Delicious and easy, patatosalata brings potatoes to the table in a whole new way.

Provided by Nancy Gaifyllia

Categories     Side Dish     Lunch     Dinner     Salad

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large white or red onion
5 to 6 medium-large potatoes
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
3 cloves garlic (crushed)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Cut the onion into thin slices, then cut the slices in half.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into large bite-sized chunks of equal size. Rinse well.
  • 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.

CREAMY GREEK POTATO SALAD



Creamy Greek Potato Salad image

Garlicky Greek yogurt tzatziki sauce forms the creamy base of this potato salad; a healthier, more protein-packed spin on the traditional mayo. Add kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and cucumber for fun and refreshing summer salad.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 pounds red potatoes
1/2 red onion (diced)
1 medium cucumber (diced)
1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
1/2 cup kalamata olives (halved)
1/4 cup 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese (optional)
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (I use full fat, but lower fat should work fine too)
1 medium cucumber (grated)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
1/4 cup fresh minced dill (lightly packed)
1/4 cup fresh minced peppermint (lightly packed (about 15 - 20 leaves))

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water over high heat. Add the potatoes. Bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water; set aside to cool.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, chop the other veggies and make the sauce.
  • To make the sauce, add all sauce ingredients to a medium bowl and mix thoroughly. Set aside. If you're not making the salad right away, refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
  • Assemble the salad. Once the potatoes are cool enough to chop, cut into 3/4-inch chunks and add to a large salad bowl. Add the onion, cucumber, tomatoes, and olives. Add the sauce and toss gently until all of the veggies are coated. Sprinkle feta on top, if using. Serve.
  • May be made up to 24 hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. After it sits for a bit, the salad may get a little watery at the bottom thanks to the cucumbers, but just give it a stir and you're good to go.

GREEK-STYLE FETA POTATO SALAD WITH VINAIGRETTE



Greek-style Feta Potato Salad With Vinaigrette image

This is another great potato salad from my collection... I have even added in a couple of tablespoons of Feta cheese when processing the vinaigrette dressing. This complete recipe may be doubled if desired.. NOTE: If you should decide to add in a bit of garlic, only add in about 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, as fresh garlic just seems to overpower the salad, but it is just as good without the garlic..... you are going to just love this potato salad, so I DO suggest you double the recipe lol!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and won't become mushy in the salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm: Overcooked potatoes will fall apart in the salad.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding them to the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette or olive oil and lemon juice dressing is a good choice.
  • Add fresh herbs and vegetables to the salad for extra flavor and texture: Some good options include parsley, dill, cucumber, and red onion.
  • Serve the salad chilled: Greek potato salad is best served cold, so make it ahead of time and chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Conclusion:

Greek potato salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it chilled with grilled meats, fish, or vegetables, or enjoy it as a light lunch or snack.
