Ingredients

  • 750 grams Potatoes
  • ¼ cup Parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup Spring onions (scallion/green onions) finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Dried mint (fresh is good too) finely chopped
  • ¼ cup Olive oil extra virgin
  • ¼ cup Lemon juice fresh
  • 1 pinch Salt to taste
  • 1 clove Garlic (optional) crushed
  • 1 pinch Black pepper freshly cracked, to taste

Instructions

  • Place the washed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water, ensuring they’re submerged by about 2 inches. Bring to a gentle boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and cook until fork-tender.
    Avoid overcooking to prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy.
    Once cooked, let the potatoes cool slightly see note #1 below. Then cut them into even bite-sized chunks, with or without the skin, your choice.

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the potato chunks, sliced spring onion, chopped parsley, mint, and garlic.

    ¼ cup Parsley, ¼ cup Spring onions, 1 tablespoon Dried mint, ¼ cup Olive oil, ¼ cup Lemon juice, 1 pinch Salt , 1 clove Garlic, 1 pinch Black pepper

    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm or chilled.
