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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. Mixing different types of potatoes, like Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and fingerlings, adds flavor and texture to the salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy when mixed with the dressing.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the dressing. This will help the potatoes absorb the dressing evenly.
  • Use a flavorful dressing. A good Greek dressing is made with olive oil, lemon juice, fresh herbs, and spices.
  • Add some vegetables to the salad. Chopped cucumber, tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers add color and crunch to the salad.
  • Feta cheese is a classic addition to Greek potato salad. It adds a salty, tangy flavor.
  • Serve the salad warm or cold. It's delicious either way.

Conclusion:

Greek potato salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, and summer gatherings. With its simple ingredients and flavorful dressing, Greek potato salad is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
