Ingredients

  • 3 pounds red potatoes peeled and sliced
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 red onion sliced
  • 2 vine ripened tomatoes diced

Instructions

  • Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
  • While the potatoes are simmering, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and spices. Taste and add more salt or pepper to taste.
  • Drain the potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Toss them with the dressing ingredients. Let stand for 20 minutes. (Read in the post why we do this.)
  • Add the bell pepper, red onion, and tomatoes to the potato salad once it has cooled. If you are making this ahead, add the tomatoes right before serving.
