Best 2 Lizs Potato Salad Recipes

EASY ITALIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium-size pot filled with water, boil potatoes (with skins on) for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until a knife can slide through the potato. You don't want to overcook them.
• Drain in a colander and immediately run cold water over them for a few minutes to stop the cooking process. Set potatoes into a mixing bowl and place them into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes or more to allow them to cool completely.
• Meantime, make the vinaigrette. In a small mixing bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and seasonings. Season with fresh cracked black pepper to taste.
• When potatoes are completely cool, peel and slice potatoes in half horizontally, then slice again each half vertically into 1/2-inch to 3/4 -inch thick slices or cubes, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Add onions, olives, celery, capers, and vinaigrette. Toss gently until well combined. Potatoes tend to absorb the olive oil very quickly, so you will need to drizzle additional olive oil as needed. Same with the vinegar. Then taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
• Chill at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving. Best served at room temperature or chilled. Just before you serve, toss the salad to combine the vinaigrette one last time. Then serve.
