Potato Salad

SALATIT EL BATAATA

Boil potatoes in their jackets. Peel while warm and slice or dice. Prepare a salad dressing of equal parts of lemon juice and olive oil and garlic, salt to taste. Toss potatoes lightly in this dressing, adding several tablespoons of chopped parsley and green scallions. A few drops of water may be added if the salad seems dry.
