This is my mother's recipe, she always makes it if we had a barbeque. All my relatives have a different version of Patates Salata, some add lemon juice instead of vinegar. Others relatives add beetroot/beet or fresh parsley or fresh mint or onions. This is the way I like it, quick, simple and mums recipe.

2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled

1 bay leaf
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover by 1 inch with water. Season with salt. Add bay leaf and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes can be easily pierced with a knife, 12 to 15 minutes. Do not overcook.

Drizzle vinaigrette over potatoes, gently tossing to coat. Add shallots and parsley and toss lightly to combine.
Set the potato salad aside for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SYRIAN POTATO SALAD

Syrian Potato Salad image

From chabad.org with small changes. One of the biggest changes was reducing the amount of lemon juice from three quarters of a cup down to one quarter cup. You can add more lemon juice if desired. Go easy on the allspice, too. Start with a small amount.

Ingredients

6 medium potatoes (i used a mix of yukon gold and red fingerling)
2 medium carrots, chopped (i added these for color)
2 stalk(s) celery and leaves, thinly sliced and leaves minced (the celery was my addition)
DRESSING:
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
2 large lemons, juice of (plus save some zest for garnish)
1/4-1/2 tsp ground allspice, to taste (i use whole allspice and grind in a pestle and mortar)
1 tsp ground cumin, to taste
1 tsp kosher salt
GARNISH:
2 hard-boiled eggs
few sprigs of fresh chives, for garnish (you can substitute italian parsley, cilantro or scallions if desired)

Steps:

1. Boil the potatoes (and carrots if using) in large pot until tender, about 20 minutes.
2. Dressing: As the potatoes boil, whisk together the dressing and set aside.
3. Drain the potatoes and cool briefly. Once cool enough to handle dice the potatoes and place in medium mixing bowl. Add the celery and leaves.
4. Pour the dressing over the cooled potatoes. Toss gently to combine the ingredients.
5. Peel the eggs and cut into fourths. Arrange the hard boiled eggs around the edge of the bowl and garnish the top of the potato salad with lemon zest and fresh chives or other suitable fresh herb (Italian parsley or scallions.)
6. Cover and refrigerate. You can serve the potato salad chilled or at room temperature.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Use a variety of potatoes for a more interesting texture and flavor.
Don't overcook the potatoes, or they will become mushy.
Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before adding the dressing, so that they don't absorb too much of it.
Taste the dressing before adding it to the potatoes, and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Garnish the potato salad with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or mint, for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve the potato salad immediately, or chill it for later.
