Ingredients
- 1/2 small red onion, diced
- 2 pounds red-skinned potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
- Kosher salt
- 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup giardiniera (Italian pickled vegetables), drained and chopped
- 1 cup diced provolone cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 1/2 cup chopped sliced salami (about 2 ounces)
- 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup sliced green olives with pimientos
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, torn
Instructions
- Soak the red onion in a small bowl of ice water, 10 minutes; drain and pat dry.
- Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with cold water and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss until the potatoes absorb most of the dressing.

- Drizzle the potato salad with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Add the basil and season with salt and pepper. Toss again just before serving.

Reviews
Good variation on potato salad.
As written the recipe is tasty. We felt the potato flavor got kind of lost in the midst of all of the other yummy goodness. We made it again and drained the potatoes well, then spread them on a baking sheet and put them under the broiler until the were browned (stirred once or twice). Then followed the recipe as written and the dish had much more ‘pop’ (from a potato forward standpoint).
