This Salata de Cartofi cu Brinza is a delightful alternative to traditional potato salad. The recipe calls for red skinned potatoes, but it's grand with others too. Originally from Please to the Table, a Russian Cookbook. Ingredients:
6 medium red potatoes |
1/3 cup olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, crushed in a garlic press |
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled |
1/2 cup scallion, finely chopped |
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons dill, finely chopped |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
6 black olives (optional) or 6 slices roasted red peppers (optional) |
Directions:
1. Clean and cook potatoes in boiling water until tender, 18-20 minutes.
2. Chop, press and crumble other ingredients.
3. Cool potatoes until they can be handled, then dice into 3/4-inch cubes.
4. Toss with olive oil and garlic, then let fully cool to room temperature.
5. Add feta and scallions and drizzle with vinegar.
6. Add dill, salt& pepper, and toss gently.
7. Let rest for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to mingle.
8. Add optional garnish and serve.
