This classic, traditional potato salad hails from Pantelleria in the Sicilian Islands of Italy. You can make this delicious, healthy, Mediterranean-style recipe in about 30 minutes with only 7 ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled
- 4 cups water
- 4 large tomatoes, slices into wedges
- ½ medium red or sweet onion, halved and sliced into rings
- ½ cup Sicilian olives, drained (see notes)
- 1 ½ tablespoons capers, rinsed, drained
- 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons red wine vinegar
