Italian New Potato Salad
Recipe Tip
Pass the Potatoes
Potatoes are a root vegetable that grow in the ground. Eating the skin of potatoes provides fiber that helps with digestion.
Success
Avoid overcooking the potatoes as they will fall apart. You should be able to just pierce the potatoes with a fork when they are done.
Substitution
One small bell pepper, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup), can be used for the olives.
