How to Make Tangy Zesty Oil And Vinegar Potato Salad

  1. Boil 1.5 lbs small red potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 20-25 minutes (adjust cooking time depending on potato size; smaller potatoes may take 15-20 minutes).
  2. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
  3. Let the potatoes cool slightly, about 10-15 minutes, until warm to the touch.
  4. Peel and halve the potatoes, then slice into 1/3-inch thick pieces.
  5. Place the warm potatoes in a large bowl.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon sugar until the sugar dissolves. Drizzle over the potatoes.
  7. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
  8. Add 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion.
  9. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Let the potato mixture cool to room temperature.
  11. Add 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley to the potatoes.
  12. Toss gently to combine.
  13. Allow the salad to marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours, at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it becomes!
