• 1/2 bunch fresh parsley, chopped

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon salt

Recipe Details & Quick Facts

• Cook Time: 20 minutes (boiling time)

• Servings: 2 - 3 portions

• Cost Level: Low

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Boil the potatoes in their skins until fork-tender. Peel them while still warm and chop them into bite-sized pieces or gently mash them in a wide mixing bowl.

Step 2: Separately, boil the eggs until hard-boiled (about 10-12 minutes), peel them, and chop them coarsely into the same bowl with the potatoes.

Step 3: Add the finely sliced green onions and freshly chopped parsley to the potato and egg mixture.

Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and ground cumin.

Step 5: Pour the dressing evenly over the potato and egg mixture. Toss everything very gently so the ingredients combine without mashing the eggs completely.

Step 6: Transfer the warm mixture to a rustic serving bowl and serve immediately while still warm.

Chef's Closing Tip

For the best flavor, mix the dressing while the potatoes are still warm so they absorb all the olive oil and spices
