COLD POTATO SALAD WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND FETA
This potato salad is equally delicious served in the cooler months as well as the summer. I add capers to this salad also, but that is optional. You can peel the potatoes if desired, I like to leave them on. Plan ahead the salad needs to chill for a minimum of 5 hours before serving. You can adjust the olive oil, white wine vinegar, and oregano to taste. Prep time does not include chilling times, cooking time is for boiling potatoes.

This is the second recipe that I adopted from the "'Zaar". This is your basic potato salad recipe and tastes like many you've had in your past. However, I will take the comments into consideration and perhaps tweek this recipe a bit! Cook time does not include marinating time.

Steps:
- Scrub the unpeeled red potatoes under running water and cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Place in sauce pan with eggs and enough water to cover both by about 1/2 inch.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and boil for 11 minutes.
- Drain.
- Peel and chop hard boiled eggs and add to potatoes in a mixing bowl.
- Mix in mayo, using enough to coat all the potatoes evenly. Add mustard and stir to distribute.
- Salt and pepper to taste. I use a lot of salt. Serve warm within the hour or chill for later.
Tips:
- For the best results, use waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, as they hold their shape better when cooked.
- To prevent the potatoes from becoming waterlogged, drain them thoroughly after boiling.
- To add a smoky flavor to the salad, roast the potatoes before boiling them.
- If you don't have time to roast the potatoes, you can boil them in salted water until tender.
- For a tangy dressing, use a mixture of mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice.
- If you prefer a creamy dressing, use all mayonnaise.
- Add chopped fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, or chives, to the dressing for extra flavor.
- Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
Conclusion:
Cold potato salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious and satisfying salad that everyone will enjoy.
