Scale
- 3 pounds red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cucumber, sliced and quartered
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes or until fork tender.

Notes
- Dressing the potatoes while they’re warm helps them absorb the vinegar and seasonings.
