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!
