"This is my "go to" potato salad that I've been making for quite some time. It's the one my husband always requests because it's so tasty and because it contains no mayonnaise (he hates mayonnaise). For those who do and don't enjoy mayonnaise, this potato salad is sure to please with it's definite Mediterranean flavors. It derives from a high-end grocer, J. Bildner and Sons in back bay Boston. I've tweaked a bit from the original recipe."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Wash and boil the unpeeled, whole potatoes until just tender (about 20 minutes). Drain. Cut potatoes into 1/2 - 1 inch pieces (or slice if you prefer). Place in a large serving bowl and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the mustards and olive oil. Add the red wine vinegar, red onion, bell peppers, parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Mix to blend.

Step 3

Pour the mustard mixture over the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Serve or keep covered in the refrigerator. Return to room temperature before serving.

TIP: It is best to not let the potatoes cool completely before adding remaining ingredients. Add ingredients to the potato salad while potatoes are still slightly hot/warm. This helps penetrate more deeply into the potato.

Oh, I just love warm potato salads with olive oil and vinegar, and the red wine vinegar really gives this a great flavor. I did not use the mustards. This was so delicious.

I made this to bring to a pot luck this past weekend and it was a hit!!! I had never tried this type of potato salad and I really enjoyed this non-mayo based version; it was very moist and flavorful. This will be made often. The only change I made was using roasted red peppers in lieu of red and green bell peppers. I'm very happy you shared this here!

Very good, I made as written but I had to add in more olive oil as it was a little dry, I used green onions instead of red, I will make again, thank you!

I was a bit confused with the potatoes...it said to dice them in step 1 but in step 3 they were sliced...so I sliced mine because the total recipe reminded me of my MIL's German potato salad...I made this for one of our RV trips...but didn't get to use it due to..."PARTY" time...anyway...it did sit in the frig for awhile...so when it was time to serve I just added a touch more oil/vinegar...(a secret my MIL taught me)...the end result was delicious...thanks for posting the recipe...made for "For Your Consideration" tag game...

Made this to travel to my sisters for a cookout tonight. It turned out delicious and a nice change from traditional potato salads. Another way to have one of my favorite things another way. We loved it!
