Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly. I usually leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large pot. Cover them with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain and Cool: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them cool for a few minutes. This step is crucial to prevent the salad from becoming mushy.
- Chop the Vegetables: While the potatoes are cooling, chop the cucumbers, red onion, and any other vegetables you’re adding. I like to keep them in similar sizes for an appealing look.
- Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This is where you can adjust the seasoning according to your taste. Don't forget to add fresh herbs to the dressing!
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped vegetables, olives, and feta cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss everything together, ensuring the potatoes don't break apart.
- Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, let your Greek Potato Salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
