Ingredients

▢ 750 g Yukon Gold potatoes
▢ 3 large eggs
▢ 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
▢ 30 g finely chopped fresh parsley
▢ ½ teaspoon salt
▢ 4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
▢ 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Instructions

Place 1¾ lb (750 g) potatoes in a pot of water. Add 3 large eggs to the same pot and boil until the potatoes are tender and the eggs are hard-boiled.
Thinly slice 1 medium onion, then place the sliced onion directly into a large serving dish.
Remove the eggs from the pot, peel them, cut them into pieces, and add them to the serving dish with the onion.
Drain the potatoes, peel them, cut them into chunks, and add them to the serving dish.
Finely chop ½ cup (30 g) fresh parsley and add it over the potatoes, eggs, and onion.
Add ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) white wine vinegar.
Gently toss everything together until well combined.

Notes

Dress the Potatoes While Warm: I like adding the extra virgin olive oil and vinegar while the potatoes are still warm because they soak up the dressing much better.

Keep the Potato Pieces Chunky: I don’t cut them too small, so they stay soft but still hold their shape when mixed.

Use Good Olive Oil: Since this salad has very few ingredients, I like using a good extra virgin olive oil because the flavor really comes through.

Let It Sit Before Serving: I usually let the salad rest for 10–15 minutes so the onion, parsley, vinegar, and olive oil have time to blend together.

Storage: I keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
