Potato Salad with Leek

To make about 4 servings of this very tasty and healthy salad you will need:

1 kg of best quality potatoes (they are the stars in this, after all) 
(here in Germany we have a kind of potatoes that are recommended for salads, because they boil well, maybe you can fing something similar wherever you are)
2 pcs  fresh Leek
Bell Peppers in 2 colors (I used red and green)
6 hard boiled eggs (you will only use the whites)
Black olives - 150-200 grams (with or w/o stem)
Sea salt
Sunflower oil (the best/cleanest that you can find)

Let's start :

Wash the potatoes in cold water (do not peel them!). Don't cut them either, just put them in a pot with water and let them boil for about 35-45 minutes, depending on their kind. Try them out with a toothpick to see when they are ready (they should be soft but not too soft!). Be careful NOT to leave them less or more than they need, because here is the most important part. If they are too hard or if you can't cut them propely because they became too soft and crumbly, the whole thing is ruined. 

After boiling, put the potatoes right away in a bowl with cold water and leave them there until they cool off (this will help you peel them easier). In the meantime, start cutting the bell peppers, the leek and the egg whites in little pieces (like in the picture).

When the potatoes have cooled, peel them and cut them in little cubes. Put them in a bigger bowl, add a little bit of sunflower oil (about 50 ml) and the sea salt (by taste) and mix. 

Add the leek, the olives and the egg whites and mix some more.

That's it! I like serving this with some kind of sweet wine.

Bon appetit!
