Italian-Style Potato Salad
- 1 pound small red new potatoes
- 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 1 1/2 teaspoons capers
- One 1/4-inch-thick slice Italian salami
- 2 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Bring potatoes to a boil in a large saucepan of salted water.
- Cook at a low boil over medium-low heat until just tender, 15 minutes.
- Do not overcook.
- Drain and let cool long enough to handle.
- Place onion in a small strainer and rinse under cold running water.
- Dry on paper towels.
- Lightly chop capers.
- Cut salami into small dice.
- Peel potatoes and slice into 1/3-inch-thick rounds.
- Lay slightly overlapping in a large shallow bowl.
- Scatter onion and capers over top.
- Drizzle with vinegar and gently toss with rubber spatula.
- Drizzle with olive oil and toss again.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss.
- Serve at room temperature with salami scattered over top.
- Dress it up:
- Cut a large ripe tomato into thin slices, then cut each slice in half.
- Season them with salt and place them around the salad so the cut sides lie next to the potatoes.
- Fresh oregano scattered over the top is a nice addition, too.
