Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 1/4 pounds potatoes (fingerling potatoes or miniature potatoes, that are buttery in nature. Refer to Note below for other potato alternative)
  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves (pressed through a garlic press or finely minced)
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion (thinly sliced into 1-2-inch slices or diced)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 5 to 6 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin olive oil, make sure to use a good quality olive oil that is fragrant in flavor)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar (to taste)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a medium sauce pan, place potatoes (with skins left on) and cover with cold water over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

  • Step 2: Once they are done, drain water and slice each potato in half.

  • Step 3: Leaving the potatoes in sauce pan, add sea salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with garlic and thin slices of onion over all. With wooden spoon, lift and turn gently, being careful not to moosh potatoes. Sprinkle with extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar evenly over all. Serve hot.

  • Step 4: NOTE: Another fantastic potato to use in this recipe is a Japanese purple sweet potato (I've placed a picture for reference). They impart a beautiful taste in this recipe. Boil them with skins on until just tender, being careful not to over-boil. Once slightly cooled, peel off skin and cut into 1 - 2" pieces. Proceed as written above. Sometimes I mix the 2 types of potatoes and it comes out fabulous.

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
