SYRIAN POTATO SALAD (PATATA SALATA)
This recipe comes from a cookbook published by my husband's grandmother's Armenian Orthodox church. I prefer the bright, refreshing flavor of its lemon-mint dressing over mayonnaise-laden American potato salads.

Steps:
- Boil whole potatoes until tender. Drain and allow to cool.
- When potatoes are just cool enough to handle, but still warm, peel and cut into large dice.
- Chop the parsley, mint, and scallions. (A food processor works great here!).
- Finely mince, or crush to a paste, the cloves of garlic.
- Slowly whisk the olive oil into the lemon juice. Add the garlic, parsley, mint and scallions.
- Pour the dressing over the potatoes and add salt and pepper to taste. (Combining them while the potatoes are still warm will make the tastiest salad.).
- Chill or serve at room temperature.

SYRIAN POTATO SALAD
From chabad.org with small changes. One of the biggest changes was reducing the amount of lemon juice from three quarters of a cup down to one quarter cup. You can add more lemon juice if desired. Go easy on the allspice, too. Start with a small amount.

CHEF FLOWER'S POTATO SALAD - KIBRISLI PATATES SALATA
This is my mother's recipe, she always makes it if we had a barbeque. All my relatives have a different version of Patates Salata, some add lemon juice instead of vinegar. Others relatives add beetroot/beet or fresh parsley or fresh mint or onions. This is the way I like it, quick, simple and mums recipe.
