Ingredients

  • 2 lbs 900 g potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 1 cup parsley finely chopped
  • 4 green onions thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the potatoes and cook until fork tender, about 15–20 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, as you want the potatoes to hold their shape.
  • Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly.
  • While the potatoes are cooling, finely chop the parsley, slice the green onions, and mince the garlic.
  • Place the warm potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the parsley, green onions, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and salt.
  • Gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing and herbs.
  • Taste and adjust the salt or vinegar as needed.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • This salad tastes even better after a few hours in the refrigerator.
  • The flavors continue to develop overnight.
  • If you prefer, substitute part of the vinegar with fresh lemon juice.
  • This recipe pairs well with grilled chicken, kafta, kebabs, burgers, and other BBQ dishes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
