How To Make Greek Potato Salad
This super simple Greek Potato Salad recipe can be thrown together in less than 20 minutes.
- Cook the new potatoes - place the scrubbed and halved new potatoes into a saucepan of cold water with a pinch of salt. Bring the pan to the boil and then reduce the heat, simmer with the lid on for around 6-7 minutes. Then check to see if the potatoes are tender through to the middles. Continue cooking until they are - be sure to check every few minutes as you don't want to overcook them.
- Prepare your potato salad ingredients - whilst the potatoes are cooking, prepare the rest of the salad ingredients.
- Drain and cool the potatoes - once the potatoes are cooked - drain them in a colander. Rinse the cooked potatoes under cold running water to cool them quickly, ready for use in the potato salad.
- Assemble the Greek potato salad - toss the cooked and cooled potatoes into a bowl along with the chopped cucumbers, baby plum tomatoes, black olives, sliced red onions and cubed feta cheese.
- Mix the salad dressing - add the olive oil, white wine vinegar, dried oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper to a small bowl and whisk together using a fork.
- Toss the salad with the dressing - pour the homemade vinaigrette dressing over the salad and gentle toss everything together to coat it all.
- To serve - tip the Greek potato salad onto a serving plate and scatter over the chopped herbs.
The BEST Greek Potato Salad Dressing
I dress the Greek potato salad with a freshly whisked up vinaigrette dressing using 2 tbs of olive oil and 1 tbs of white wine vinegar with a pinch of dried oregano, sea salt and black pepper. Simple and delicious.
But if you fancy changing things, you could use a tzatziki style dressing if you prefer with Greek yogurt, freshly chopped mint, garlic and lemon.

No - potato salad really doesn't work well frozen.
It's better to cut your potatoes into smaller bitesized pieces prior to boiling, that way they won't go mushy and overcooked.
