Ingredients

  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 2 lbs. red-skinned potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup plus 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Black pepper
  • 1 cup giardiniera, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup diced provolone
  • 1/2 cup chopped sliced salami
  • 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced green olives with pimientos
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, torn

Directions

  1. Soak the red onion in a small bowl of ice water, 10 minutes; drain and pat dry.

  2. Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with cold water and season with 1 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp. vinegar, the sugar, 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper; toss until the potatoes absorb most of the dressing.

  3. Add the giardiniera, provolone, salami, artichoke hearts, olives and red onion to the bowl with the potatoes; toss. Let cool to room temp.

  4. Drizzle the potato salad with the remaining 3 tbsp. olive oil and 1 tbsp. vinegar. Add the basil and season with salt and pepper. Toss again just before serving.
