Ingredients

  • 3 pounds medium new potatoes use a waxy variety
  • 2 white onions finely diced
  • fresh parsley finely chopped
  • extra virgin olive oil such as a spicy Andalusian picual
  • ¼ cup sherry vinegar
  • sea salt to taste
  • 2 hard boiled eggs quartered or sliced
  • 2 cans high quality Spanish tuna drained

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes, then put them into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then add a tablespoon of sea salt.
  • Allow the potatoes to boil until they're fork tender, about 25 minutes. Take the pot off the heat and keep the potatoes in the hot water for another 30 minutes.
  • Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and place them in a strainer for another 20 minutes, or until they're cool enough to handle.
  • Remove the potato skins with your hands or with a knife, then cut into thick slices and place in a glass serving bowl.
  • Sprinkle the potatoes with the onion, parsley, and ½ tablespoon of sea salt.
  • Add the vinegar and the olive oil, then adjust the salt to taste.
  • Arrange the tuna and sliced hard boiled egg on top of the potatoes and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use the very best quality ingredients you can find for the best results. Using good tuna and olive oil especially makes a difference!
  • Taste and adjust the salt before serving.
