Time 30m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs new potatoes
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 tsp. cumin
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. allspice
1/8 tsp. coriander
1 1/2 cup parsley, roughly chopped
6 scallions, white and light green parts thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them by about 1-inch. Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes, uncovered, until they are fork-tender, about 14-16 minutes depending on their size. Drain the potatoes and once they are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and spices. Then stir in the parsley, scallions and garlic.
  • Add the potatoes to the dressing while they are still slightly warm. Toss them gently until they are well coated.
  • The potato salad can be served immediately while it’s still slightly warm. Or covered and refrigerated until chilled.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator for 2-3 day.

MIDDLE EASTERN STYLE POTATO SALAD

Yum! This is not your average potato salad recipe. It's light and tart. The optional Feta cheese (which I highly recommend using) adds a bit of creaminess to the potato salad. This potato salad recipe is great for picnics this summer because you won't have to worry about it spoiling.
