Greek Potato Salad (Πατατοσαλάτα)
Ingredients:
- 6 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and boiled
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 small cucumber, pickled (optional, for extra tang)
- Olive oil, for dressing
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Boil the Potatoes:
- Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Boil them in salted water for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Salad Ingredients:
- While the potatoes are cooling, chop the onion, fresh dill, capers, and hard-boiled eggs into small pieces. If you're using a pickled cucumber, chop that as well.
Assemble the Salad:
- In a large bowl, combine the boiled potatoes, onion, dill, capers, and hard-boiled eggs. Add the pickled cucumber if you're using it.
Dress the Salad:
- Drizzle with olive oil and white wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything gently, making sure the potatoes are coated evenly with the dressing.
Chill and Serve:
- For the best flavor, let the salad chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
