Author Notes
This potato salad (in many variations) was a staple in my family. The recipe can be tweaked in many ways, by adding herbs (I like oregano), spring onions, leek, tomatoes, peas, beets, or whatever else is in season, eggs or sausages. It is dairy free which makes it quite suitable for a summer barbeque or garden party. In the winter, it can be served as a warm salad, when prepared as a cold salad it is a nice way to use up those leftover potatoes. —Poinsettia

1 teaspoon
back pepper

- the salad can be eaten immediately or allowed to rest for several hours of over night in the refrigerator; if it is not eaten right away, taste it before serving as potatoes can "hide" a lot of salt and pepper, and add more spices, oil and vinegar as needed (for the calorie sensitive water can be added instead of oil at this point.
