- 3 pounds of new potatoes medium size
- 2 white onions small dice
- Water
- Fresh parsley diced
- Extra virgin olive oil preferably a spicy kind like an Andalusian picual
- 4 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
- Sea salt
- 2 hard boiled eggs
- 2 cans of high quality Spanish tuna
Wash the potatoes well, put them into a large pot and cover them with water
Cook over high heat and add a tablespoon of sea salt right when the water boils
Allow the potatoes to boil until just tender (when they can be skewed through with a toothpick/fork). This should take about 25 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, dice the onion and the parsley
When the potatoes are just cooked through, 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, until they're cool enough to handle
Remove the skin with your hands or with the help of a knife
Cut the potatoes into thick discs and put them in a glass bowl
Add the onion and parsley and ½ tablespoon of sea salt
Next add the vinegar and finally the olive oil
Adjust for salt and on top add the (drained) can of tuna as well as the sliced hard boiled egg
Enjoy!
