*PLUS Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 kg red potatoes, well-scrubbed

  • 6 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp white vinegar

  • 1/2 cup peeled and chopped red onion, about 1 small red onion

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parlsey

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • pinch of salt, to taste

  • freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/4 cup dry white wine, at room temperature

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, cover potatoes with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Boil for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, but not until they fall apart. Drain and let stand until cool enough to handle. (You should make salad while potatoes are still hot or warm.)

  • As potatoes cook, make dressing. Mix oil, vinegar, red onion, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.

  • Peel cooked potatoes and cut into 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) slices. (Or leave skins on for more color.) You should have about 5 cups (1.25 L). Place potatoes in a shallow serving bowl, sprinkling wine between layers. Pour dressing over potatoes, toss and serve.
