Categories Potato

Time 55m

Yield 8 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 lbs Red Bliss potatoes or 3 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes
3/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar (if using unseasoned, add 1/2 tsp sugar)
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika (smoked Spanish preferred)

Steps:

In a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat, add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 25 to 35 minutes.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and peel while they are as hot as you can handle.
Cut one-third of them into 1/2 -inch-thick slices directly into a large resealable food storage container.
Drizzle one-third of the oil over them, then one-third of the vinegar.
Top the potatoes with one-third each of the onions, salt, pepper and parsley, in that order. Repeat the process twice.
Sprinkle the salad with the paprika.
Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate at least overnight.
Turn the container over for several hours so the juices permeate the potatoes.
When ready to serve, bring the potato salad to room temperature and serve with a slotted spoon.
