Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 2 boiled eggs
- 1 red capsicum finely diced
- 1/2 red onion finely diced
- 1/4 cup parsley finely chopped
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 15 oz tuna Drained
- salt
Instructions
- Boil potatoes & eggs: In a medium pot, submerge the potatoes and eggs in cold water. On a high heat, bring to the boil and then reduce the heat medium so the water is at a rapid simmer. Once the water is boiling, set the timer for 8 minutes and then remove the eggs and place into an ice bath. Continue to boil the potatoes for a further 22 minutes or until you can easily poke a fork or skewer through them.
- Peel & cut potatoes: While the potatoes are still warm, use a small knife to gently score a shallow “X” into the skin. From there, the skin should easily peel away using your fingers. Cut the peeled potatoes into small cubes while still slightly warm so they can soak up all of the dressing.
- Peel eggs: Peel the eggs and cut them into small pieces.
- Dress: Add the potatoes to a bowl and dress with red wine vinegar, olive oil and a good pinch of salt. Stir everything together, slightly roughing up the potatoes as you mix so they soak up all of the dressing.
- Finish: Add the capsicum, red onion, parsley, tuna and boiled eggs and stir through until everything is well combined. Enjoy!
Notes
- Dress the potatoes while they are still warm so they absorb all of the olive oil and vinegar.
- Slightly roughing up the potatoes while stirring helps create a more flavourful dressing that clings to every bite.
- Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil as the flavour really shines through in this recipe.
- This potato salad tastes even better after sitting for a few hours in the fridge.
- If making ahead, add a little extra olive oil before serving to freshen everything up.
- You can serve this salad chilled, at room temperature or slightly warm.
