1
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
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.
