How to Make Potato Salad With Olive Tomatoes And Capers

  1. Wash and quarter 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes. Place in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  2. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  3. While the potatoes cook, prepare the other ingredients: finely chop 1/2 cup red onion, halve 1 cup cherry tomatoes, and roughly chop 1/4 cup fresh basil.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, 2 tablespoons capers, chopped onion, tomatoes, and basil.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.
  6. Pour the vinaigrette over the potato mixture and gently toss to combine.
  7. If desired, garnish with 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
