Lemony Greek Potato Salad

Yield: 6 servings From Episode 43

Mayonnaise-free potato salad starring Yukon Golds in a zippy lemon-garlic olive oil vinaigrette, finished with oregano, dill, and crumbled feta.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb small Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 3 medium scallions, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (1 large lemon)
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
  • 3 oz feta, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)

Steps

  1. Submerge the potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt in cool water by 1 inch; bring to a boil, then simmer 10 to 12 minutes until a knife slides through easily. Drain and let cool about 10 minutes.
  2. Whisk scallions, garlic, lemon juice, oil, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  3. Cut the potatoes in half or quarters; toss with the dressing, oregano, dill, and feta.
  4. Let stand 10 minutes; enjoy warm or at room temperature.
