Directions

Add the potato slices into a pot of cold water, bring to a boil and cook for about 8 minutes, or until tender. If the potato slices fall apart a bit, it’s fine, which will give the salad a creamier texture.

Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and stir well.

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain well and transfer into the bowl.

Gently toss until well combined and evenly coated.

Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
