Turkish Potato Salad (Printable Version)

Golden potato cubes tossed with zesty sumac, fresh vegetables, and creamy feta in a bright lemon dressing - a Mediterranean delight.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes, washed

→ Dressing

02 - Extra-virgin olive oil
03 - Fresh lemon juice
04 - Sumac
05 - Salt
06 - Freshly ground black pepper

→ Vegetables & Garnish

07 - Fresh parsley, chopped
08 - Red onion, finely diced
09 - Cucumber, diced
10 - Tomatoes, diced
11 - Black olives, pitted and chopped
12 - Feta cheese, crumbled

# Steps:

01 - Wash potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove dirt and debris. Place whole potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender but still firm.
02 - While potatoes cook, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
03 - Drain cooked potatoes in a colander and let cool slightly until comfortable to handle. Peel if desired, then cut into bite-sized cubes.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the cubed potatoes with chopped parsley, diced red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, black olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
05 - Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly, taking care not to break the potatoes. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
06 - Allow the salad to rest for about an hour at room temperature for flavors to develop. Serve garnished with additional fresh parsley.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, allow the salad to rest for an hour before serving to let flavors meld together.
02 - Can be served at room temperature or chilled, depending on preference.
03 - Add boiled eggs or chickpeas for additional protein to transform into a complete meal.
04 - Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours for optimal taste and texture.
