Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes
  • 1 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup pitted black olives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Begin by washing the potatoes under cold water. Place them in a pot, cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. While the potatoes cook, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  4. If desired, peel the cooled potatoes before cutting them into bite-sized cubes.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine cubed potatoes with parsley, red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to combine without breaking the potato cubes.
  7. Taste for seasoning; adjust with more salt or lemon juice if necessary. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
