Syrian Potato Salad (Patata Salata) image

This recipe comes from a cookbook published by my husband's grandmother's Armenian Orthodox church. I prefer the bright, refreshing flavor of its lemon-mint dressing over mayonnaise-laden American potato salads.

Time 40m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs potatoes
1/2 cup packed fresh parsley
1/3 cup packed of fresh mint
6 scallions
1/3 cup oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 garlic cloves
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Boil whole potatoes until tender. Drain and allow to cool.
  • When potatoes are just cool enough to handle, but still warm, peel and cut into large dice.
  • Chop the parsley, mint, and scallions. (A food processor works great here!).
  • Finely mince, or crush to a paste, the cloves of garlic.
  • Slowly whisk the olive oil into the lemon juice. Add the garlic, parsley, mint and scallions.
  • Pour the dressing over the potatoes and add salt and pepper to taste. (Combining them while the potatoes are still warm will make the tastiest salad.).
  • Chill or serve at room temperature.
