ITALIAN POTATO SALAD



Italian Potato Salad image

This potato salad was one of my Nonna's (grandmother) most-loved recipes. Our whole family (and it's big!) loves it and we always think of her when we make it. It is simple while still being full of flavour. The salad is best served warm or room temperature. You don't absolutely have to love parsley to like this dish, but it would help a little. :-) Please note: amounts are approximate - my grandmother never wrote anything down, so we go by taste. Feel free to adjust to your own preferences.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb new potato, skins on (I like the small-ish ones best)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 -4 garlic cloves (if they're really small, use 4)
1/4 cup chopped parsley
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes, keeping skins on, until tender.
  • Meanwhile, crush garlic into medium-sized serving bowl and add chopped parsley.
  • Add olive oil and mix well.
  • Let mixture sit while potatoes are cooking.
  • When potatoes are done and still HOT (or at least very warm- they absorb the flavour better that way), cut into bite-sized chunks and add to parsley-garlic mixture.
  • (If you prefer to peel your potatoes, feel free).
  • Stir well to coat potatoes.
  • If more oil is needed (sometimes it varies, depending on the potatoes), add enough to get desired amount.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • This is best when it sits for at least an hour at room temperature before serving to let the flavours combine.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of waxy and starchy potatoes. Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Golds, hold their shape well when cooked, while starchy potatoes, such as Russets, break down and become creamy.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender-crisp: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy, so be careful not to overcook them.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to a day in advance, which will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, will add a lot of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use only half the amount.
  • Serve the salad warm or at room temperature: This salad is best served warm or at room temperature, so that the flavors have a chance to meld.

Conclusion:

Warm Italian potato salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. With its combination of tender-crisp potatoes, creamy dressing, and fresh herbs, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
