A Great Side Dish Recipe: Delicious Mediterranean Potato Salad

 A Great Side Dish Recipe: Delicious Mediterranean Potato Salad

This time, we would like to recommend potato salad with eggs and some touches of greens and spices. It may be around the Mediterranean as we see it anywhere in Turkey.  

You can add anything that you feel go good with it. Cooking is a for sure a process of trials carrying us toward perfection. After it? Nothing more or less but enjoy that perfection. We used the following ingredients for this salad:

1-Onion

2-Parsley

3- Rock or sea or Himalaya salt 

7- Olive oil 

8- (Optional) mint and sumac

9- (Optional) some pomegranate or pomegranate syrup

10- (Optional) vinegar

11-Lemon

12-Eggs

Boil the potatoes until your knife gets through them easily (about 40 minutes).

You may want to boil the eggs with them but, as you would know better than us, they are not necessarily be boiled as long as the potatoes but as just you like them to be OK.

This salad could be served in two ways: when it is a side dish, it is good to serve it cold. When it is the main course-yes, we are content to have it as a main course just for the fact that it is great- it could be served hot.

Cut the boiled potatoes into pieces as you like and mix them with the onion, rock or sea or Himalaya salt, and the spices you prefer but we strongly recommend sumac and mint without getting too economical. You could use the bag method we suggest for salads. After mixing them well, gently (not the way we did on the image) garnish your dish with sliced eggs and good amount of olive oil, the second love of millions of people in the Mediterranean region.

Tomatoes sliced in the same manner as the potatoes could add a better taste if you can find good ones after the month of July.

Use with Alcohol: We like the type of drink called Uzo (Greece), Raki (Turkey), Arac (Arabic world), or Ricard’s (France), with which this recipe would go well as a side dish. Do not forget to have a forkful or spoonful of the meal after each sip of the above drinks. Otherwise, that drink may be one of your lifelong avoidances. 

When it comes to wine, we recommend white wine as it has acidity from the lemon in it.

Bon Appétit
