Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 lbs Red Potatoes, whole
  • 3 tbsp Sea Salt, fine For the water for the potatoes
  • 5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4-6 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Parsley, minced

Instructions
 

  • Scrub and add the whole unpeeled potatoes to a large dutch oven or pot.
  • Fill the pot of potatoes with water that covers at least 1-inch above the potatoes and add 3 tbsp of salt to the water.
  • Bring the pot to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are just fork tender about 40 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and cool enough to handle. You still want them pretty warm.
  • Using a knife remove the skins from the potatoes. Then cut the potatoes into bite size pieces and place into a large bowl.
  • Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, 1 tsp of salt, black pepper, and the minced parsley to the potatoes. Stir and adjust for any seasoning.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

The seasoning is a guideline, you can add more salt or red wine vinegar if desired.
Season the potatoes while they are warm to ensure the potatoes absorb the oil and vinegar.
Do not peel the potatoes before boiling.
