Because of the lack of mayonnaise this potato salad is ideal for outdoor parties and buffets.

  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • 1/2 cup green olives pitted and halved lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper cored seeded and sliced into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper cored seeded and sliced into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 3 tablespoons capers

directions

    Biol the potatoes in a large stockpot over medium-high heat until just tender. Drain over the sink in a colander; place a kitchen towel over the colander and allow the potatoes to steam for 10 minutes. Return the potatoes to the stockpot and toss with the wine and vinegar. Allow to stand 10 minutes while the potatoes absorb the liquid.
