One of the dishes that I always eat when I’m spending summer\u00a0at my parents’ home in Italy is “Paten\u0117 Arrappet\u0117”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a potato salad that’s very easy to prepare – but you have to know some secrets to make it perfectly tasty. And I’m going to reveal them to you now \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

This potato salad is made with different vegetables. My father has always been the one who\u00a0would take care of gathering and all the cutting \u00a0of the vegetables that will be used\u00a0with the potatoes.<\/p>\n

So what does my father put into it?<\/p>\n

Potato Salad – My Father’s Way<\/h2>\n

Ingredients for 2 (if the main course) or 4 (as a\u00a0side dish)<\/h3>\n

6 medium new potatoes<\/p>\n

2 stalks of celery<\/p>\n

1 cucumber (at my house we would use “nu Barattid\u0117”<\/a>\u00a0typical from Puglia<\/p>\n

12 tomatoes<\/p>\n

1 can of tuna<\/p>\n

a spoonful of capers<\/p>\n

salt<\/p>\n

extra virgin olive oil<\/a><\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h3>\n

Rinse the potatoes.<\/p>\n

\"Potato<\/a><\/p>\n

Boil them in a pan for 20\/25 min. You will know that they are ready when can put a fork through without effort. It\u00a0is important to use new potatoes because we don’t want mashed ones here \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"Potato<\/a><\/p>\n

While\u00a0the potatoes are cooking, start cutting\u00a0the cucumber into cubes and put them in a large bowl.\u00a0Cut the celery into strips.<\/p>\n

\"Potato<\/a><\/p>\n

Quarter the tomatoes.<\/p>\n

\"Potato<\/a><\/p>\n

Scoop the tuna from the\u00a0can.\u00a0Rinse the capers.<\/p>\n

\"Potato<\/a><\/p>\n

When the potatoes are ready, peel them and slice them into tiny circles. Add them to the bowl with the other ingredients.<\/p>\n

\"Potato<\/a><\/p>\n

Now add some\u00a0oil and salt. DO NOT put\u00a0salt directly on the potatoes because it will be difficult to spread it evenly.<\/p>\n

\"Potato<\/a><\/p>\n

My father always prepares a glass\u00a0of salted water\u00a0(Just put some salt in a glass\u00a0of water and stir until it dissolves.)<\/p>\n

\"Potato<\/a><\/p>\n

Then pour it over the potatoes a little a time. Mix the salad. Adjust the flavour according to your taste\u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
