PATATOSALATA (GREEK POTATO SALAD)

Steps:

• Cut the onion into thin slices, then cut the slices in half.
• Peel the potatoes and cut them into large bite-sized chunks of equal size. Rinse well.
• Add the potatoes to a pot of cold water, enough to cover them by 1 1/2 inches. Bring the water to a boil and boil the potatoes over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes.
• Test the potatoes for doneness after 10 minutes. They should pierce easily with a fork when they're ready. If they're not quite there yet, keep checking in 1-minute increments.
• Remove the potatoes from the heat as soon as they're done and drain them. Overcooking will turn them to mush when you prepare the salad.
• Place the potatoes in a serving bowl or dish. Add the onions and toss together.
• Combine the olive oil, lemon juice , garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl using a whisk.
• Add the dressing to the potato and onion mixture just before you're ready to serve and combine well. Sprinkle with the parsley.
