Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Thoroughly wash and scrub the Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes under cold running water.
  2. Place them in a pot filled with cold water, adding a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let the potatoes simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool slightly before cutting them into bite-sized cubes.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the cubed potatoes with parsley, red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and feta.
  7. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture, gently tossing to coat.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then garnish with additional parsley and allow to rest for an hour before serving.
