Insalata greca di patate (facile e leggera)

Ingredienti

• 1 pound potatoes
• 1/3 medium red onion (sliced really thinly (or increase to around 1/2 an onion, or to taste))
• 1 cup fresh herbs (washed and chopped (roughly 1/2 cup parsley, 1/4 cup dill, 2 tablespoons oregano))
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice ((roughly 1 small lemon))
• 2 tablespoons capers (or to taste (in brine or vinegar))
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil ((good quality if possible))
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparazione

1. 1

   Chop the potatoes into small pieces.: Start by chopping the potatoes into small pieces about 1 to 2 inches big. I usually cut a small potato into 8.

2. 2

   Boil the potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes until tender.: Bring a medium sized saucepan of salted water to the boil. Then add the potatoes and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until 'just' tender but not falling apart (check with a sharp knife).

3. 3

   Stir all other ingredients together.: Meanwhile, stir all of the other ingredients together in a jug or small bowl.

4. 4

   Drain potatoes, then empty them into a bowl.: Once the potatoes are tender, drain them into a colander and let steam for a couple of minutes to let some of the water evaporate. Then empty the potatoes into a large bowl.

5. 5

   Add the rest of the ingredients and toss well.: Empty the onion herb vinaigrette mixture on top of the potatoes. Toss really well with salad servers. Serve hot, warm or cold - your choice!
