Smashed Potato Salad
2 pounds fingerling potatoes, unpeeled
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
10 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1/2 cup red onion cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/4 cup capers, drained well
1 tablespoon fresh finely chopped cilantro
Add potatoes to large pot. Fill with enough cold water to cover; add salt to taste. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer about 15-20 minutes, depending on size of potatoes, until potatoes are tender throughout.
While potatoes cook, make vinaigrette dressing. Whisk together vinegar, olive oil and oregano. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Drain potatoes and let cool. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Smash down gently on slices using flat side of the knife; set aside.
In medium bowl, combine potatoes, tomatoes, onion, capers and cilantro. Toss gently.
Pour balsamic vinaigrette dressing over potato mixture and mix until well-coated. Serve warm or slightly chilled.
Servings: 4
