Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
1 onion
160g
1/3 cup olive oil
80g
1 stalk celery
130g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g
1/3 cup dried oregano
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
- Peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized chunks.
2. Cooking the Potatoes:
- Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with water.
- Add a pinch of salt into the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let them simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to cool slightly.
3. Prepare Other Ingredients:
- While the potatoes are cooling, finely chop the onion.
- Clean and chop the celery stalk into small pieces.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Roughly chop the fresh parsley.
4. Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Mix well to ensure the oregano is evenly distributed throughout the oil.
5. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled potato chunks, chopped onion, chopped celery, and fresh parsley.
- Pour the olive oil, garlic, and oregano mixture over the salad ingredients.
6. Mix and Serve:
- Gently fold all the ingredients together using a large spoon or spatula until all the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing and herbs.
- Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.
7. Resting Time:
- Let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For a more intense flavor, you can refrigerate it for a couple of hours or overnight.
8. Final Touch:
- Give the salad one final gentle stir before serving.

Tips:

- Choose the Right Potatoes: Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture. They hold their shape well after boiling.

- Don't Overcook the Potatoes: Boil the potatoes just until they are tender. Overcooking can make them mushy and less appetizing.

- Mix While Warm: Combine the warm potatoes with the dressing and vegetables. Warm potatoes absorb flavors better, making the salad more flavorful.

- Fresh Herbs are Key: Use fresh parsley for a bright, fresh taste. If you're using any other herbs, fresh ones will always pack more flavor than dried.

- Let it Sit: Allow the salad to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This gives the flavors time to meld and develop.

- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salad before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. Sometimes a little extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon can enhance the flavors even more.

This herb and garlic potato salad is an effortlessly elegant dish that boasts robust flavors and a delightful texture. By following these steps, you can create a memorable culinary experience that pairs well with a variety of main courses. Enjoy this salad warm or chilled, knowing that the wholesome ingredients and fresh herbs make it a nourishing and delectable choice for any occasion.
