Potatoes and tuna sauce is a truly irresistible combination of flavors. A simple, yet well-thought-out dish.
How to make a humble ingredient like the potato appetizing. A mix of flavors that creates sparks.
It’s true that the best recipes come from memories. In fact, this salad takes me back to when I was a child, in summer, my grandmother would arrive with her mysterious bowl covered with an overturned plate.
‘It’s not the usual salad,’ she would say. And she was right: underneath there were steaming potatoes, softened by a cream-colored sauce that tasted of tuna, but also of home.
It’s good because it manages to be simple, but never banal. A bit like the best memories.
Great to serve both cold and warm, as a side dish or as a main course.

Steps for Preparing Potatoes and Tuna Sauce
To prepare the delicious potato and tuna sauce salad, start by peeling the potatoes with a potato peeler. Cut them into cubes or slices of roughly the same size.
Meanwhile, put a pot of plenty of water on the stove and bring it to a boil.
Add the coarse salt, and the potatoes, and cook for about 15-20 minutes. The time varies depending on the size of the potatoes, so check them in the last few minutes.
Once cooked, drain them and plate them. Prepare the Tuna Sauce (click the name for the recipe) and add it to the potatoes with a piping bag and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
