Ingredients
- 800 grams Potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 stalks Green onions
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes of approximately 2 cm.
Step 2
Place the potato cubes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set the dressing aside.
Step 4
Chop the parsley and mint leaves finely. Slice the green onions thinly, including the green parts. Set aside.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the warm potatoes to a serving bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to coat each piece evenly.
Step 7
Add the chopped parsley, mint, and green onions to the bowl. Mix gently to avoid breaking the potatoes.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Step 9
Serve the Lebanese potato salad either warm or at room temperature. It can also be refrigerated and served cold.
