HERBY POTATO SALAD WITH SMASHED OLIVES
As with coleslaw, there are two schools of potato salad: the mayonnaise-based and the vinegar-based. This recipe plants itself firmly in the latter camp with bright, punchy flavors. The dressing here is a classic red-wine vinegar and Dijon vinaigrette that develops great flavor after marinating with capers, smashed green olives and thinly sliced shallots. Just fifteen minutes in the dressing softens the shallot's bite, and a quick soak brings canned olives to life. There may appear to be too much dressing when you add the cooked potatoes, but as the potatoes cool, they'll absorb it beautifully. (The key is to add them to the dressing as soon as they are cool enough to handle.) Any small potatoes will work for this recipe, and a mix of colors looks particularly nice. The most important detail is that the potatoes should be roughly the same size so that they cook evenly.

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot; add 2 teaspoons salt and enough water to cover generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until just tender when pierced with a fork. (Be careful not to overcook!) Drain and set aside until just cool enough to handle.
- While the potatoes cook, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar and mustard with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the olives, shallot and capers, and set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
- When the potatoes are just cool enough to handle, cut them in half (or quarters, to end up with bite-size pieces), and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently combine and set aside to cool completely, tossing occasionally.
- Stir in the mint and parsley, along with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve the potato salad at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potato types for a more flavorful salad. Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Golds or fingerlings, hold their shape well and won't get mushy when cooked. Russet potatoes, on the other hand, are more starchy and will break down more easily, giving the salad a creamier texture.
- If you don't have time to cook the potatoes ahead of time, you can microwave them. Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/2 cup of water and cook on high for 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool before proceeding with the recipe.
- To make the salad more flavorful, use a good quality olive oil and vinegar. You can also add a variety of herbs and spices to taste, such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, or garlic powder.
- If you're using canned olives, be sure to rinse them well before adding them to the salad. This will help to remove the salty brine and make the olives more palatable.
- Serve the salad warm or at room temperature. It's a versatile side dish that can be served with grilled chicken, fish, or steak.
Conclusion:
Warm potato salad with olives is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It's perfect for a summer cookout or picnic, and it can also be served as a main course. With its simple ingredients and flavorful dressing, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table.
