Lucca Deli Potato Salad

I've had yummy potato salad before. I've had fancy ones even, Russian, Caesar, Japanese, and even one time when it was a hybrid Waldorf salad with apples and tuna. Yummy? Yes! But the Lucca Deli Potato Salad just takes the cake. Or shall I say the potato?! Back in my beehive, again, after trial and error, this is the closest I've come to replicating this sumptuous neighborhood's classic.

Note: Lucca Deli is a small neighborhood specialty store on Chestnut St., San Francisco and is a favorite stop of Gourmetbee and Baby Bee.


Lucca Deli's Potato Salad

4 large potatoes, boiled until soft but firm
1/2 Mayer Lemon
1/4 c onions chopped finely in the food processor
Fresh Parsley
American mayonnaise
Salt
Pepper
2 tbsps olive oil
2 eggs, harboiled

Once potato is cooled, slice as you would lemon rounds. Add jiuce of 1/2 a lemon. Add the onions, parsley, salt and pepper. Toss trying as much as you can not to mash the potatoes. Add just enough mayonnaise to coat the potatoes. Add about 2 tbsps olive oil. Taste and season accordingly adding more salt or pepper.

Top with the hardboiled eggs. Oh... and some olives and pimientos for color and decor. Serve cold. Mmmm good.
