Ingredients

Units Scale

Potato Salad:

  • 750 g new potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives (50 g), about 18 olives, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tbsp capers (in brine), drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 2 small bunches flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Sumac Dressing:

  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sumac plus extra to serve
  • 1 teaspoon grainy Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove minced
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes: Transfer the potatoes to a pot of cold salted water. Boil until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Peel and cut into slices or chunks.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: Mix together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Transfer warm potatoes to a bowl, pour dressing over them. Add olives, capers, red onion, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  4. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

  • If using red or light-colored potatoes, you can leave the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.
  • Capers in brine can vary in vinegar content; rinse if desired to reduce vinegar flavor.
