Ingredients

• 2 pounds redskin potatoes
• 2 large ripe tomatoes
• 3 garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 green onions

Directions

Step 1

Wash the redskin potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces (leave the skin on for added texture and flavor).

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, dice the tomatoes into small chunks and set them aside.

Step 5

Mince the garlic cloves finely and add them to a small bowl. Mix the garlic with the olive oil, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 6

Chop the fresh parsley and green onions finely.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, tomatoes, parsley, and green onions.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated with the dressing.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Step 11

Serve the potato salad cold or at room temperature as a side dish.
