1 bay leaf
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Categories     Potato

Time 55m

Yield 4 portions, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

500 g potatoes
100 g onions
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
5 g fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Cook potato with skin and when cooked, peel it.
  • Cut peeled potato into slices (across). Put potato into a salad bowl, pour over olive oil and vinegar dissolved with half glass water (1 dcl). (It is much better if you season warm potato because it will soak oil, vinegar and seasoning much better.)
  • Cut onion into thin rounds and add to potato. Add salt and pepper. At the end add hand cut basil leaves. Do not put too much basil - it must be surprise for consumer.
  • Mix well. Wait until cools and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, are the best choice for potato salad because they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: To prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy, cook them until they are just tender. You can check this by inserting a fork into the center of a potato. If the fork goes in easily, the potatoes are done.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely: Before adding the dressing, let the potatoes cool completely. This will help to prevent the dressing from becoming runny.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is a good choice for potato salad. Avoid using heavy dressings, such as ranch dressing or thousand island dressing.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Once the potatoes and dressing are combined, you can add your favorite mix-ins, such as chopped celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, or bacon.
  • Chill the potato salad before serving: For the best flavor, chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
