Ingredients
Scale
Potato and Vegetable Base:
- 2 pounds (1 kilo or 4–5 large) potatoes
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 4–5 green onions, chopped
- 1 medium onion (red or white), thinly sliced
Fresh Herbs:
- 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
Garnish:
- 4 Romaine lettuce leaves, chopped
Instructions
- Submerge whole potatoes in a large pot filled with water, seasoning with salt to enhance flavor profile during a 20-30 minute boiling process at medium-low heat until tender.
- Remove potatoes from water and quickly plunge into cold water bath for 3 minutes to halt cooking and facilitate easier handling.
- Gently peel warm potatoes and slice into substantial, rustic chunks, transferring to a spacious mixing vessel.
- Incorporate diverse fresh vegetation into potato base, including finely chopped green onions, shredded carrot, thinly sliced onion, crisp lettuce fragments, and delicate parsley leaves.
- Craft a vibrant dressing by vigorously whisking together zesty olive oil, tangy lemon juice, essential seasonings like salt and pepper, aromatic sumac, and fiery red chili flakes in a compact mixing container.
- Delicately cascade prepared dressing over vegetable mixture, using gentle folding technique to ensure uniform coating without crushing delicate ingredients.
- Serve immediately for optimal texture and temperature, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow complex flavor interactions to develop and intensify.
Notes
- Select waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture and flavor absorption.
- Cool potatoes slightly before peeling to prevent burning your fingers and make skin removal easier.
- Use fresh herbs for maximum flavor intensity and vibrant color in the salad.
- Adjust seasoning gradually and taste as you go to create a perfectly balanced dressing.
