Olive and Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade Potatoes
These zesty potatoes are a great alternative to traditional potato salad. They are sure to be a hit at picnics or any potluck gathering. Vinegar and salt are added to the potatoes while they are slightly warm to heighten the flavor. The cook time for the potatoes will vary according to size, so it might take as long as 30 minutes for them to become tender. Start checking after 15 minutes to avoid overcooking.
