Ikarian Potato Salad, Jazzed Up
Here's a jazzed up version of a rustic Ikarian potato salad. Island cooks typically mix warm potatoes with everything else: cucumbers, onions, fresh oregano, and, in this version, sun-dried tomatoes. A delicious array of regional Greek olive oils and other Greek ingredients are available at my online store here.
