Hilda’s at Hilyard’s Mediterranean Potato Salad HILDA WARD 2 1/2 lbs. medium red potatoes, scrubbed 6 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil (Siurana from Spain is best) 4 celery stalks, cubed 4 large plum tomatoes, cut in 1/6 1 red onion, thinly sliced 30 black olives, halved (canned are OK, oil cured or Moroccan olives are best) 1 Tbs. garlic, minced 1/4 c. fresh basil OR sage thinly sliced 2 Tbs. capers, drained 3 Tbs. white vinegar (or for a kick, 2 Tbs. imported Spanish sherry vinegar) 1/2 tsp. dried oregano 4 hard boiled eggs, sliced, for garnish Cook potatoes in salted water for 20 to 30 minutes until tender (insert a knife to see if potatoes are done - “don’t let them ‘smile’ at you” Hilda says: if the skin splits, they are overcooked). Drain, cool, peel, and cut into bite-size pieces. Place in bowl and toss w/oil. Add celery, tomatoes, olives, basil or sage, capers and toss gently. Whisk vinegar and oregano, drizzle over potatoes, season with salt and black pepper. Garnish with egg. Each serving may be topped with aioli (home-made mayonnaise). * O PT IO NA L GA R NI SH : Oven roasted pimiento. Set oven to 375 degrees. Place 1-2 red bell peppers in a small pan and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Roast 15-20 minutes, turn over, bake 15 more minutes. Remove and place peppers in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let cool (trapped steam helps skin loosen). When cooled peel away skin and remove all the seeds and cut into strips for garnish ... or, buy a jar!
