I have my sister in law to thank for this idea! While we were visiting friends on a trip to their farm in Zimbabwe a couple of years ago, we had a delicious potato salad for lunch with potatoes fresh off the lands, which prompted Ele to tell me how she makes an Italian version with just potatoes, olive oil and black olives. I really liked the idea and this week I finally (just two YEARS later!!) got around to trying it out, with baby potatoes and the addition of the fresh rosemary.
