Ingredients
  

Potatoes
  • 1.5 lbs small white potatoes cut into halves or bite-size pieces
  • Water for boiling
  • Salt
Mix-Ins
  • ½ cup black olives halved
  • ½ small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup small tomatoes halved
  • 4 oz block feta cheese
Vinaigrette and Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 to 2 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp olive brine
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Chef Knife
  • 1 Wooden Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Rinse and scrub the potatoes, then cut them into halves or bite-size pieces. Add them to a pot or saucepan of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender but not falling apart.
  2. Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely.
  3. Add the cooled potatoes to a large bowl. Add the halved olives and sliced tomatoes.
  4. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar, and a small splash of olive brine. Add the sliced red onion along with fresh chopped oregano, fresh dill, and dried oregano. Let it sit briefly to soften and build flavor.
  5. Pour the vinaigrette over the potatoes, olives, and tomatoes. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Crumble in the feta and add salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Toss gently again, keeping everything intact. Let sit for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Tips

  • Cut the potatoes before boiling so they cook evenly and faster
  • Let the potatoes cool after boiling before mixing. This helps them hold their shape and keeps the salad from getting too soft
  • Let the onions sit in the vinaigrette to soften their bite
  • Add a splash of olive brine to the salad for extra flavor. It gives the whole dish a nice salty, briny finish
  • Use a block of feta and crumble it yourself for better texture
  • Greek feta is best here. It’s creamier, saltier, and makes a big difference
