Description

Waxy potatoes dressed while warm with onion, parsley, sharp vinegar, and extra-virgin olive oil—clean, briny, tavern-style. 🌿🍋

Hook: Dress warm potatoes so they drink the vinaigrette—bright, silky salad in 35 minutes. ⚡

Ingredients

  • 🥔 Waxy potatoes, peeled & cut 2 cm: 800 g (5–6 cups / 1.76 lb)
  • 🧅 Red onion, very thin slices: 80 g (½ cup / 2.8 oz)
  • 🌿 Flat-leaf parsley, chopped: 10 g (¼ cup / 0.35 oz)
  • 🫒 Extra-virgin olive oil: 45 ml (3 tbsp / 1.5 fl oz)
  • 🍎 Apple cider or wine vinegar: 30 ml (2 tbsp / 1 fl oz)
  • 💧 Potato cooking water (starchy): 60 ml (¼ cup / 2 fl oz)
  • 🧂 Salt: to taste (≈9 g / 1½ tsp)
  • ⚫ Freshly ground black pepper: 1 g (½ tsp / 0.04 oz)
  • 🧄 Garlic, very finely minced (optional): 1 small clove (3 g / 0.1 oz)
  • 🌶️ Capers or sliced cornichons (optional): 1 tbsp (9 g / 0.32 oz)

Preparation

Advice

Use waxy potatoes (Yukon Gold, yellow) and dress them hot—starch on the surface binds with oil and vinegar, making a naturally creamy emulsion.

Why it works

A splash of starchy cooking water helps emulsify the vinaigrette; pre-salting/onion-pickling softens bite; gentle folding keeps chunks intact while they absorb flavor.

Twist

Add tuna & white beans for a Dalmatian lunch bowl, or toss in blanched green beans for a market-fresh spring version.

Status

Harbor-simple, vinegary-bright—krompir salata that belongs next to grilled fish. #grannyzen #dalmatiansalad 🥔🇭🇷
