Slatit Batata Marfusa Recipe-February 2024-www.zdask.com

　　Use mealy potatoes for this Tunisian salad, which is served as an appetizer and also as an accompaniment to grilled fish.

Ingredients

serves 6

　　1 1/2 pounds potatoes

　　Salt

　　4–5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

　　1 1/2 tablespoons wine vinegar

　　Pepper

　　1/2 teaspoon harissa (page 464) or a good pinch of chili pepper (optional)

　　1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

　　3 tablespoons capers, squeezed to get rid of excess vinegar

Step 1

Peel and boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until soft, then drain, keeping a little of the cooking water.

Step 2

Mash with the oil and vinegar and 2–4 tablespoons of the cooking water—enough to have a soft, moist texture. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

Step 3

Serve cold.
