Ingredients

• 500 grams Potatoes
• 150 grams Feta cheese
• 4 stalks Scallions (Green onions)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons Sunflower oil (or olive oil)
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large saucepan. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the scallions and parsley. Set them aside.

Step 3

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool slightly. Peel the potatoes (if desired) and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Let them cool completely to room temperature.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potato cubes with the chopped scallions and parsley.

Step 5

Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl, making sure to distribute it evenly throughout the salad.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the sunflower oil, white vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until evenly coated. Be careful not to break the potatoes while mixing.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or vinegar if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with extra parsley if desired. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing experience.
