Cooking Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with 1 inch of water and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil, then uncover, reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then cut into 1/2-inch chunks, slip the skins off and place the potatoes in a large nonreactive (stainless-steel, glass or plastic) bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, olives and onion. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the olive vinaigrette and the parsley to the potatoes and toss well. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Chopped Calamata olives and red onion make this warm potato salad salty and delicious.

  • HEALTHY FATS = PROPER BRAIN FUNCTION !

    Stacey - July 7, 2008 11:24:48 PM PST
    Olive oil, particularly Extra-Virgin, is an EXCELLENT source of HEALTHY, let me repeat, HEALTHY Fat.
    To narrow-mindedly focus on how many grams of Fat is to miss the point of what Health really
    entails.
    People need to understand that when everything is low fat or no fat,
    the body interprets this as a STARVATION SIGNAL and will then Hold on to its fat stores, actually making it HARDER for the body to lose weight ! Kind of ironic isn't it ;-)
    Not to mention we NEED HEALTHY PLANT-BASED FATS for optimum Brain and Nervous system function.
    According to my educated opinion,
    This recipe most certainly does meet the requirements of a healthy meal,
    so eat up , and Bon Appetit !

  • Fat content?

    G D - July 7, 2008 05:52:04 PM PST
    That's got to be an error-- olive oil and olives don't equal 40 grams of fat per serving...

    This looks like a GREAT dish-- I'm looking forward to giving it a go!

  • Fat grams

    Bruce L. G - July 8, 2008 03:17:40 AM PST
    The listed fat grams per serving is WRONG. The entire recipe only has about 55 or so grams of fat (olive oil olives) so in cannot be 40 per serving, more like 14 per serving.

    who cares about the fat content when you can eat it up. Sounds so yummy, gives you the strength to run the extra mile to enjoy this once a month or so. Will try it, will love it and will serve it. : )!
