MOM'S ITALIAN POTATO SALAD

Mom's Italian Potato Salad image

This is one of my favorite recipes handed down from my mom. The best thing is there are lots of vegetables and flavors, and it's usually a welcome change from standard American versions. The olives are the best part! To save time, I usually chop all the vegetables and make the dressing while the potatoes are boiling.

Ingredients

5 large Yukon Gold potatoes
1 large cucumber, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
1 large red onion, chopped
¾ cup green olives with pimento, chopped
¼ cup olive oil
½ cup red wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

Place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
Combine the potatoes, cucumber, celery, onion, and olives in a large bowl.
Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and vegetables; mix well. Season with salt and pepper, then chill. Stir the potato salad again before serving.
