How to Make Andalusian Potato Salad
- Place 1 pound of small yellow potatoes in a medium saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium, partially cover, and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 30-35 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, peel and finely dice the potatoes.
- In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion, 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, 1/2 cup diced tomato (optional), 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions (optional), 1/3 cup high-quality extra virgin olive oil, and 6 tablespoons sherry vinegar.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Gently toss everything together, lightly crushing some of the potatoes with a fork or potato masher to achieve a slightly mashed texture.
- Let the salad stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours (or up to 4 hours) to allow the flavors to meld and the potatoes to absorb the dressing.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more sherry vinegar if needed.
- Before serving, gently stir the salad. Spread it on a serving platter, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
