Red Potato And Parsley Salad

[Guest guest]

More from Magnolias. Sure looks strange to me, hardly any dressing for the

potatoes. But, who knows -- maybe it's tasty this way.

Red Potato And Parsley Salad

 

Recipe By : Magnolias, Charleston, South Carolina

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :

Categories : Restaurant Salads

Vegetarian

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 1/2 cups diced red potatoes

with skin on -- cut in about

-- 1/2-inch dice

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon finely minced parsley

1 tablespoon very finely minced yellow onion

1 tablespoon very finely minced garlic -- mashed to a paste

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

freshly ground black pepper salt to taste

 

Place the potatoes, the tablespoon of salt and enough water to cover the

potatoes together in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring them to

a boil and let them simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. The potatoes should be just

fork tender, and not falling apart.

 

Put ice cubes in a bowl of cold water and set aside. Drain the potatoes.

Rinse with cold water and immerse the potatoes in ice water to stop the

cooking. When the potatoes are cold, drain them, and place them on paper

towels to absorb the excess water.

 

Combine the parsley, onion, garlic, olive oil and pepper in a medium bowl. Add

the potatoes and toss. Add freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste.

Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve chilled. Serves 4.

 

For a milder flavor (if you're not into the taste of raw onion); you could

saute the onions, garlic and parsley in the olive oil, cool and add as

directed.
