Steps:
- Put the potatoes and garlic in a pot and cover with well-salted water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes; drain. When they are cool enough to handle but still hot, carefully cut the potatoes in half (try not to pull off the skins) and transfer to a large bowl. Finely chop the garlic and add it to the potatoes along with 2 tablespoons each vinegar and olive oil; season with salt. (It is important to do this while the potatoes are still warm so they absorb the vinegar and oil and are seasoned all the way through.)
- Meanwhile, bring another pot of well-salted water to a boil over medium heat. Set up a bowl of ice water and season it generously with salt. Add the haricots verts to the boiling water and cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes (bite a bean to be sure they are properly cooked); drain and immediately put in the ice water to "shock" them, or stop the cooking. When they are cold, drain the haricots verts and let them dry a little. Cut them in half.
- Add the haricots verts, olives, oregano, scallions and red pepper flakes to the bowl with the potatoes. Stir to combine well; taste and adjust the seasoning. Add the remaining oil and vinegar, if needed. This salad is good now, but it will be even better if you let it sit for at least 1 hour at room temperature.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a large pot; add water to cover by 2 inches. Cover the pot and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, bring another large saucepan of water to a boil; salt generously. Blanch the green beans until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and then shock in an ice water bath to stop cooking.
- When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks and place in a large serving bowl. Add the green beans, red onions and tomatoes and toss together. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil and dried basil. Pour about three-quarters of the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. (The potatoes should break up a bit and coat the salad.) Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature, garnished with torn basil.
