Serves 6 to 8
Time 25 min
Inspired by traditional Greek potato salad, this simple lemony salad is tossed with a bright-tasting vinaigrette instead of a creamy mayonnaise-based dressing. Serve with grilled or roasted chicken, fish or lamb.
Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Method
Put potatoes in a pot, cover with salted water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
To test for doneness, insert a fork into a potato chunk; it should slide in easily without breaking the potato apart.
Immediately drain well and let cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice and salt.
Whisk in olive oil in a slow, steady stream until vinaigrette is emulsified.
Add warm potatoes and parsley to the bowl and gently toss until evenly coated.
Serve warm or refrigerate and serve cold.
