Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Wash the Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes under cold running water.
  2. Place the washed potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add salt, and boil until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, salt, and pepper for the dressing.
  4. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
  5. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes, leaving the skin on for added nutrients if desired.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced potatoes with parsley, red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat without mashing the potatoes.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
  9. Let the salad rest for at least an hour before serving to meld flavors.
