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.

- 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.
