Ingredients

Scale

For the Salad:

  • 2 pounds (1 kilo or 4–5 large) potatoes
  • 4–5 green onions, chopped
  • 1 medium-sized carrot, grated
  • 1 medium-sized onion (red or white), thinly sliced
  • 4 Romaine lettuce leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley

For the Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons sumac
  • 1 teaspoon (or less) red chili flakes (pul biber)

Instructions

  • Cook the Potatoes:
    • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
    • Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Partially cover the pot and cook for 20–30 minutes.
    • Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork. Once tender but not too soft, drain the potatoes.
    • Cover the potatoes with cold water to cool for about 3 minutes, then drain again.
  • Prepare the Potatoes:
    • Peel the potatoes and chop them into large chunks.
    • Transfer the chopped potatoes to a large bowl.
  • Add Vegetables:
    • Add the green onions, grated carrot, onion slices, chopped lettuce, and parsley to the bowl with the potatoes.
  • Make the Dressing:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, sumac, and red chili flakes until well combined.
  • Combine and Serve:
    • Pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to combine.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a creamier version, you can add a few tablespoons of yogurt or mayonnaise to the dressing. The salad can be served warm or chilled.
