Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds potatoes Yukon Gold or red-skinned work beautifully
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sumac provides a unique tartness
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt.
  2. Combine the whole potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt for flavor.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until they are fork-tender.
  4. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to create your dressing.
  5. Drain the potatoes once they’re cooked and allow them to cool slightly. Then, cut them into bite-sized cubes.
  6. Mix the cubed potatoes with chopped parsley, red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese in a large bowl.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and gently toss everything together. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  8. Serve at room temperature or chilled, garnishing with a touch more parsley if desired.
