Romanian Potato Salad Recipe
Every once in a while I’ll share a recipe with you that I grew up with, and this potato salad is one of those. This was the kind of salad that my mom would always make whenever she was really busy and tired after a long day at work. This salad was her go to meal for such times because all that’s really required is to peel some potatoes, then boil the potatoes and the eggs and just toss everything together. It was easy, but still a very satisfying dinner for us. Packed full of savory olives, perfectly boiled eggs, it’s also great if you’re looking for a satisfying meatless dish. There’s just something about potato salad, the quintessential side dish. Packed full of Yukon gold potatoes, bright and fresh red onions, and sprinkled liberally with herby parsley, this scrumptious salad is a flavorful twist on a classic. If you’re looking for a way to switch up a standard side, this is the perfect way to do exactly that!
Potatoes – Cut into cubes and boiled, medium sized if you please. Onion – We’re using fresh bright red onion today for color and flavor. Eggs – 5 eggs are required for this potato salad recipe, I’ve included a section detailing how best to boil eggs below. Olives – Black olives sliced up and pitted. Olive oil – Choose a nice heavy oil with a well rounded flavor, olive oil will be your best bet. Seasoning – Salt and pepper to taste. Parsley – Fresh and chopped up fine.

Storing Leftover Potato Salad
Store this salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 – 5 days. This recipe should not be frozen- the texture and color of potatoes after freezing and thawing is not very appetizing.
