Warm Italian Potato Salad Recipes

ITALIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes, keeping skins on, until tender.
• Meanwhile, crush garlic into medium-sized serving bowl and add chopped parsley.
• Add olive oil and mix well.
• Let mixture sit while potatoes are cooking.
• When potatoes are done and still HOT (or at least very warm- they absorb the flavour better that way), cut into bite-sized chunks and add to parsley-garlic mixture.
• (If you prefer to peel your potatoes, feel free).
• Stir well to coat potatoes.
• If more oil is needed (sometimes it varies, depending on the potatoes), add enough to get desired amount.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• This is best when it sits for at least an hour at room temperature before serving to let the flavours combine.

Slice the potatoes in half while still warm and combine them with the green beans in the large bowl. Remove the peppers from the plastic bag. Peel off the skin from the peppers. Slice the pepper flesh into wide strips and remove the seeds and veins. Place them in the bowl with the potatoes. Add the scallions, parsley, and garlic
