Potato salad with onions and parsley

Potato salad with onions and parsley is a classic and versatile dish that pairs well with a variety of meals. It's perfect for barbecues, picnics, or as a savory side dish for your family dinner. This recipe combines tender potatoes with tangy vinegar, creamy salad dressing, and the fresh flavors of onions and parsley, creating a dish that's both delicious and satisfying.

Ingredients:

6 potatoes
1280g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g
1/2 cup salad dressing (with mayo)
120g
3 onions
72g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
8g
2 dashes salt
0.80g
2 dashes black pepper
0.20g

Instructions:

2. Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the potato pieces into a large pot and cover them with water.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water to enhance the flavor.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Onions and Parsley:
- While the potatoes are cooling, peel and finely chop the onions.
- Wash and finely chop the fresh parsley.
4. Mix the Salad:
- Once the potatoes have cooled slightly but are still warm, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the finely chopped onions and parsley to the potatoes.
- Drizzle the vinegar over the warm potatoes. This helps the potatoes absorb the vinegar flavor better.
- Gently toss the potatoes, onions, and parsley to combine.
5. Add Dressing and Seasoning:
- Add the salad dressing (with mayo) to the potato mixture.
- Season with two dashes of salt and two dashes of black pepper.
- Gently mix everything until the potatoes are well-coated with the dressing and the seasoning is evenly distributed.
6. Chill the Salad:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to a container with a lid.
- Refrigerate the potato salad for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
7. Serve:
- Give the salad a good stir before serving to ensure the dressing is well-distributed.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

- Choose firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes, as they hold their shape well after boiling.

- For extra flavor, let the boiled potatoes cool down slightly before adding the dressing. The warm potatoes will absorb the flavors better.

- To enhance the flavor even more, prepare the salad a few hours ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

- Use fresh parsley for the best taste. If you only have dried parsley, use about 1 tablespoon instead of 2 tablespoons fresh.

This potato salad with onions and parsley is a simple yet flavorful dish that can be easily prepared with common ingredients. Whether you're serving it at a summer cookout or as part of a cozy family meal, it's sure to be a hit. Enjoy the blend of creamy, tangy, and fresh flavors in every bite!
